ASP.NET Application Providers相信大家都已经非常熟悉,它为我们开发ASP.NET应用程序提供了方便。
比如在Visual Studio控件工具箱中的Login部分,就是基于Membership provider、Session provider和Profile provider,大大地简化了我们在开发过程中处理与用户相关的功能。
(更多Provider的信息请查看http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa479030.aspx)

Azure Provider是什么
Azure上的应用程序也是ASP.NET 应用程序,所以它也支持ASP.NET 的Provider模型。不同的是,我们平时用的Provider是基于关系数据库的(如SQL Server),而“云端”上Provider自然也需要使用“云端”的数据解决方案——Windows Azure Storage。
云平台是基于分布式计算的。这就意味着,你的同一个应用程序可能会分布在不同的机器上。所以包括Session在内的各种用户数据不能放在host主机上,必须通过Windows Azure Storage来统一管理。
微软认为:基于Windows Azure Storage的provider 比传统SQL provider具有以下优势:
在保持与SQL provider完全相同的使用方法(不用做任何代码修改)的基础上,
- 并行处理更强悍。
- 分页查询更方便。
- 计算能力更牛X。
- 运行更稳定。
Azure Provider的原理
在Windows Azure SDK(March 2009 CTP)中,微软已经提供了可直接使用的Azure版ASP.NET Provider。包括membership, role, profile, session state 4种providers。
打开Azure版ASP.NET Provider项目,非常一目了然。以下的4个文件与4种provider一一对应。
拿TableStorageMembershipProvider来说,它其实是继承了MembershipProvider类(参照上文的provider类结构图),override了MembershipProvider类里与数据操作相关的方法,将它们换成使用Windows Azure Table Storage版本的。
public class TableStorageMembershipProvider : MembershipProvider
配置使用Azure Provider:
刚才说了,从传统的SQL Provder转换到使用Azure Provider,不用做任何代码上的改动,只需要更改配置文件就可以了。
下面是MemshipProvider的配置示例。(其他Provider也类似,请参考附件中的代码)
userIsOnlineTimeWindow = "20" >
< providers >
< clear />
< add name ="TableStorageMembershipProvider"
type ="Microsoft.Samples.ServiceHosting.AspProviders.TableStorageMembershipProvider"
description ="Membership provider using table storage"
applicationName ="ProviderTest"
tableServiceBaseUri =”your table service endpoint”
allowInsecureRemoteEndpoints =”false”
accountName ="youraccountname"
sharedKey ="yoursharedkey"
membershipTableName ="Membership"
enablePasswordRetrieval ="false"
enablePasswordReset ="true"
requiresQuestionAndAnswer ="false"
minRequiredPasswordLength ="1"
minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters ="0"
requiresUniqueEmail ="true"
passwordFormat ="Hashed"
/>
</ providers >
</ membership >
