One-to-many MVC Individual User Accounts

Question

I am using asp.net mvc with the individual user accounts template where i try to make an one to many relationship from User to Items.

In a project without the individual user account template i can simply do the following:

public class User
{
    public int UserID { get; set; }
    public string Username { get; set; }

    public virtual ICollection<Item> Items { get; set; }

}

And

  public class Item
{
    public int ItemID { get; set; }
    public string ItemName { get; set; }
    public int UserID { get; set; }

    public virtual User User { get; set; }
}

Problem is that i cannot find a complete model for the User (ApplicationUser) in the Individual user account template. So i dont know how to add the Items to the User and generate a controller for the User (In the individual user template)

Answer 1

From the template in the Models folder, in IdentityModels:

public class ApplicationUser : IdentityUser
{
    public async Task<ClaimsIdentity> GenerateUserIdentityAsync(UserManager<ApplicationUser> manager)
    {
        // Note the authenticationType must match the one defined in CookieAuthenticationOptions.AuthenticationType
        var userIdentity = await manager.CreateIdentityAsync(this, DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie);
        // Add custom user claims here
        return userIdentity;
    }

    // Add here ..
    public string DisplayName { get; set; }
    public virtual ICollection<Item> Items { get; set; }
}

Using Identity ties in the ApplicationUser model this way. You can change the name ApplicationUser to User here as well, provided all other references to ApplicationUser are also updated.
