When a user logs in i want them to see only db entry that match there id on the index page

im currently using the below which works as fare as getting the correct data but get a error when i run the project

Code:
SQL
public ActionResult Index()
{
    return View(db.UserProfiles.ToList().Where(u => u.UserId == (int)Membership.GetUser().ProviderUserKey));
}



Error:
nullreferenceexception was unhandled by the user code
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

To fully implement authorization in MVC4 you have to do a little more work then that. I found (and used) a great article for this problem :
http://primaryobjects.com/CMS/Article147.aspx[^]

Works like a charm and helps you through step by step.

Good luck!

OK, so break that line down and start assigning each piece to a variable so you can see what each piece is returning. Either db.UserProfiles is returning null, or MemberShip.GetUser() is returning null.

Membership.GetUser().ProviderUserKey is returning the ID
db.UserProfile is return the Select query string

Can i note this only happens when i stop and start the project.
I need to log out and back in to get it working with no error
Reason for the is issue was not have [Authorize] above the index call methode

Thanks for all your help
