Microsoft MVP: Honored to have received the Microsoft MVP award for the 2nd year


Do you know, 1st July has a very special meaning to me, this day starts with full of expectations which lasts until the moment of receiving email from Microsoft. Today, once again Microsoft awarded me with the MVP (Most Valuable Professional) award for the 2nd time in a row in the ASP.NET/IIS category.


I'm honored to be the part of Microsoft MVP Program, this is one of the most prestigious award and one of the great achievement of my life.

Here is the body of the mail that I received:

Dear Abhimanyu Kumar Vatsa,

Congratulations! We are pleased to present you with the 2013 Microsoft® MVP Award! This award is given to exceptional technical community leaders who actively share their high quality, real world expertise with others. We appreciate your outstanding contributions in ASP.NET/IIS technical communities during the past year.

I'd like to thanks to my all friends, family, community, blog readers and also like to send my special thanks to Shivprasad Koirala, Suprotim Agarwal, Kunal Chowdhury, Mahesh Chand for their continuous encouragements.

My very special thanks to Dhananjay Kumar (DJ), who is big brother to me and my mentor as well. I still remember his one of the thought "Microsoft MVP Award is not an Award rather it is a Responsibility that every MVP’s should follow".

I will give a special thanks to Microsoft India MVP Lead Biplab Paul and Tanmay Kapoor, for considering me.

Thanks.

Because the table schema is changed, i had to re-think and create migration script which I would like to share with you today. It is very simple and easy, just three step and I had everything ready: STEP 1 : Change name of existing tables STEP 2 : Create ASP.NET Core Identity tables STEP 3 : Migrate data from old tables (ASP.NET Identity) to new tables (ASP.NET Core Identity) Script:  https://gist.github.com/itorian/c699e8534b392a6c726ec66c48100072 You should also watch my video, where I demoed migration.
