ASP.NET MVC 5 Identity, Users, Roles, Accounts, SQL to Generate Tables

In ASP.NET MVC 5, user management changed significantly from ASP.NET MVC 4. This is the start of a series of blog posts on the topic (long overdue). This post is on the SQL that your website executes to initially create the identity (user, role) tables. The SQL the ApplicationUserManager and ApplicationSigninManager generate and execute is below: CREATE TABLE [dbo].[AspNetRoles] (     [Id] [nvarchar](128) NOT NULL,     [Name] [nvarchar](256) NOT NULL,     CONSTRAINT [PK_dbo.AspNetRoles] PRIMARY KEY ([Id]) ) go CREATE TABLE [dbo].[AspNetUserRoles] (     [UserId] [nvarchar](128) NOT NULL,     [RoleId] [nvarchar](128) NOT NULL,     CONSTRAINT [PK_dbo.AspNetUserRoles] PRIMARY KEY ([UserId], [RoleId]) ) go CREATE TABLE [dbo].[AspNetUsers] (     [Id] [nvarchar](128) NOT NULL,     [Email] [nvarchar](256),     [EmailConfirmed] [bit] NOT NULL,     [PasswordHash] [nvarchar](max),     [SecurityStamp] [nvarchar](max),     [PhoneNumber] [nvarchar](max),     [PhoneNumber

Install and Setup Windows 10 for a Developer

I have been writing code on the Microsoft Stack for around 10 years and have set up quite a few developer machines over the years. Starting with Windows XP, Visual Studio 2003, and SQL Server 2000, and on every version of Windows, VS, .NET, and SQL Server since. If there is a quirk with installing dev tools, I've likely run into it. I recently upgraded my primary dev machine to Windows 10, Visual Studio Enterprise 2015, and SQL Server 2014, and decided to capture the steps in this blog so I could point other people to it. Notice: Obviously, these are my preferences, and may not work for your situation. I am writing this post after running this setup for about a week* (edit: about 6 months now and still good). I will update this post as I continue to work with Windows 10. Objective From scratch, set up a developer machine with the following: 1. Windows 10 Pro 2. SQL Server 2014 Developer Edition 3.

Import-Module The specified module OneGet was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory

Windows 10, PowerShell, OneGet, PackageManagement, Chocolatey You may have tried the command: Import-Module -Name OneGet And received this message: Import-Module : The specified module 'OneGet' was not loaded because no valid module file was found in any module directory. But that's okay, because OneGet was renamed to PackageManagement. So just run this instead: Import-Module -Name PackageManagement And really, you probably don't even need to run that command at all.
