Get value for session from Forms Authentication

Guest User

Hello, I have a website to make for a school project. The thing is that I made the authentication with Forms Authentication and for the log-in part I created a new class "Utilizatori" that is not in the database. I just want to get in a Session["test"] the IdUser.

The registration part:

public ActionResult Inregistrare()
{
return View("Inregistrare", new Useri());
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Inregistrare(Useri model)
{ using ( var context = new Entities())
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
if (context.Useri.Any(x => x.Email == model.Email))
{ ViewBag.Notification = "Exista deja un cont cu aceasta adresa de email.";
return View();
}
else
{
context.Useri.Add(model);
context.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction("Autentificare");
}
}
}
return View();

The Log-in part:

public ActionResult Autentificare()
{
return View("Autentificare", new Utilizatori());
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Autentificare(Utilizatori model)
{
using (var context = new Entities())
{
bool Validare = context.Useri.Any(a => a.Email == model.Email && a.Parola == model.Parola);
if (Validare)
{
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(model.Email, false);
//Session["Cont"] = ;
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Licitaties");
}
ModelState.AddModelError("", "Date incorecte");
return View();
}
}
public ActionResult Delogare()
{
FormsAuthentication.SignOut();
return RedirectToAction("Autentificare");
}

So there in "Validare" I verify if the informations from database = with the informations from the view

Here is the code for "Utilizatori" :

public class Utilizatori
{ public int Id { get; set; }
public string Email { get; set; }
public string Parola { get; set; }

And here is the code for Users ( the table from my db) :

public partial class Useri
{
[System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessage("Microsoft.Usage", "CA2214:DoNotCallOverridableMethodsInConstructors")]
public Useri()
{
this.Oferte = new HashSet();
this.UseriRol = new HashSet();
}
public int IdUser { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Tastati un nume")]
public string Nume { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Tastati o adresa de mail")]
[EmailAddress(ErrorMessage = "Scrieti o adresa de mail valida.")]
public string Email { get; set; }
[Required]
[RegularExpression(@"^(?$)?0(?:(?:72|74|75|76|77|78)(?(paren)$)(?\d)(?!\k{6})\d{6}|(?:251|351)(?(paren)\))(?\d)(?!\k{5})\d{5})$")]
public string Telefon { get; set; }
[Required(ErrorMessage = "Tastati o parola")]
public string Parola { get; set; }
[System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessage("Microsoft.Usage", "CA2227:CollectionPropertiesShouldBeReadOnly")]
public virtual ICollection Oferte { get; set; }
[System.Diagnostics.CodeAnalysis.SuppressMessage("Microsoft.Usage", "CA2227:CollectionPropertiesShouldBeReadOnly")]
public virtual ICollection UseriRol { get; set; }
}

The thing is the "Utilizatori" have an Id but remains 0 everytime while in the table from my database I have : IdUser :8 , Name: Alex and so on...

Accepted answer
as you are saving email in Authentication cookie , fetch the Id based on email, in any method you wish as
context.Users.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Email == System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name).Id;

I need to make a Post Method with ajax and I need to store the current logged-in user Id. and then pass it to the controller then to ajax script.

Something like this:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult AdaugareBid(Oferte ofrt)
{
using (var context = new Entities())
{
var ofr = new Oferte()
{ IDLicitatie = ofrt.IDLicitatie,
IdUser = Int32.Parse( User.Identity.GetUserId()),
ValoareBid= ofrt.ValoareBid
};
context.Oferte.Add(ofr);
context.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
}

I mean to say why do you need session, HttpContext is available throughout the application so directly use that to retrieve userId wherever you need it.
after login, you can use the currently logged-in user's name anywhere in the application.
var loogedInUserEmail= System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name;

If you are saying to do this like that:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Autentificare(Utilizatori model)
{
using (var context = new Entities())
{
bool Validare = context.Useri.Any(a => a.Email == model.Email && a.Parola == model.Parola);
if (Validare)
{
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(model.Email, false);
var p = context.Useri.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Email == System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name).IdUser;
Session["Cont"] = p;
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Licitaties");
}
ModelState.AddModelError("", "Date incorecte");
return View();
}
}
It doesn't work.

I tried to write it like that, but it's redirecting me to an error page:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Autentificare(Utilizatori model)
{
using (var context = new Entities())
{
bool Validare = context.Useri.Any(a => a.Email == model.Email && a.Parola == model.Parola);
var p = context.Useri.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Email == System.Web.HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name).IdUser;
if (Validare)
{
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(model.Email, false);
Session["Cont"] = p;
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Licitaties");
}
ModelState.AddModelError("", "Date incorecte");
return View();
}
}
