The InvalidOperationException
error occurs when the ASP.NET Core Identity UserManager is not registered as a service in the application’s dependency injection container. This typically happens when the necessary services for ASP.NET Core Identity are not configured correctly.
To resolve this error, you need to make sure that you have registered the appropriate services for ASP.NET Core Identity in your application’s startup code.
Here’s an example of how to register the ASP.NET Core Identity services in the ConfigureServices
method of the Startup
class:
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
// Other service registrations...
services.AddDbContext<YourDbContextClass>(options =>
options.UseSqlServer(Configuration.GetConnectionString("DefaultConnection")));
services.AddDefaultIdentity<IdentityUser>()
.AddEntityFrameworkStores<YourDbContextClass>();
// Other service configurations...
}
In the above example, we first add the database context using AddDbContext
method, specifying the connection string. Then, we use AddDefaultIdentity
with IdentityUser
as the type argument to register the default ASP.NET Core Identity services with the provided user class. Make sure to replace YourDbContextClass
with your actual DbContext class.
By registering the services correctly, the InvalidOperationException
should no longer occur.
