Hello everyone. I was prompted to write this post from a comment I received on <\/font>http:\/\/blogs.msdn.com\/b\/webdev\/archive\/2013\/10\/17\/announcing-release-of-asp-net-and-web-tools-for-visual-studio-2013.aspx<\/font><\/a>. I am pasting the comment verbatim from the post<\/font><\/p>\n

\u201cI’m having a lot of difficulty integrating the IdentityDbContext with other DbContexts to create a comprehensive model and database for my applications. If the membership system always stood on its own, there wouldn’t be an issue but the User ID typically gets used throughout other models and tables (think of a blog, for example, where some authenticated users are authorized to create blog posts whereas others are only authorized to leave comments – all users, though, need to have their User ID stored with blogs and\/or comments). What are the recommended ways to combine these EF Code First models?\u201d<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font> <\/p>\n

While this requirement may seem fairly straight forward, it does highlight lots of key components of using any membership system in an application. I thank \u201cRobert Gaut\u201d for posting this comment which motivated me to write this post.<\/font><\/p>\n

So this should set the context of this blog post \ud83d\ude42 This blog post shows how you can create a simple ToDo application and associate ToDoes with Users from ASP.NET Identity. In other words, this post shows how you can mix and match Entity Framework Code First Models for the application specific data with the Models of User from ASP.NET Identity.<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font> <\/p>\n

Let us define the requirements of this application :-<\/h2>\n
