Re: Forms authentication credentials fail

Hi again,

Me again with my new groups account, not my old one like last time, if
that confused anyone.

I didn't think membership was necessarily mutually exclusive to forms
authentication it was just how they work together (ValidateUser vs
FormsAuthentication.Authenticate) that had me confused as I haven't
really used the built in forms authentication before either.

It's all working now though, thanks, but I did get stuck while I had
anything set in the Authenticate event of the login control, even if
there's nothing in the handler. Just something to check if anyone else
gets stuck.

I also notice some web.config samples in examples have a comma with
System.Web or App_Code after it in the type attribute, (???? in the
sample below) but none of them explain the significance of this as it
seems to work without it. Just a little loose thought I'd like to clean
up.

<membership defaultProvider="WebConfigMembershipProvider">
<providers>
<add name="WebConfigMembershipProvider"
type="WebConfigMembershipProvider, ????"/>
</providers>
</membership>
