Re: Setting up ASP.NET Configuration in Visual Studio 2005

Yes, it helped. I also had to create separate providers for roles and
memberships and I had to remove the default AspNetSqlProvider as a membership
provider.

Thanks,

look for?

Thanks.

Hi:

I'm having trouble setting this up. I placed the following information in
web.config:

<membership userIsOnlineTimeWindow="20">
<providers>
<add connectionStringName="SqlServices"
enablePasswordRetrieval="false"
enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true"
passwordFormat="Hashed" applicationName="jibey.jacob"
name="SqlProvider"
type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" />
</providers>
</membership>

When I launch the ASP.NET Configuration wizard from Visual Studio, and flip
to the Security tab, I can see one provider listed (I selected single
provider for all site management), which is AspNetSqlProvider. The
connnection string "SqlServices" exists in web.config. The problem is the
wizard always comes back with an error that says "unable to establish a
connection to the database".

Before I placed all this information in web.config, I had started with a
bare-bones web.config that VS2005 had created. And I created the membership
database in SQL Server using aspnet_regsql.

What am I doing wrong?

Jubey,

I think your problem is in the defaultProvider property which is not
specified.

Quote: When specifying the membership Element (ASP.NET Settings
Schema) section, you must specify the defaultProvider attribute. If
you do not specify a membership Element (ASP.NET Settings Schema)
section in your Web.config, the values from the machine configuration
are used and the SqlMembershipProvider instance named
AspNetSqlProvider is established as the defaultProvider.

Hope this helps
