Asp.net membership database

Question

Hi all, I am novice in asp.net and, I have design a website which is having small database (MS sql server), which is working fine on server but for users login, I have given asp.net membership security, which is not working, because its database is still in the app_data file. Now, how can I transfer membership database on my existing website's server.

Answer 2

If you intend on using ASP.NET Membership security and your own database then you need to roll your own Membership class. See here for a step by step guide on how to do it.

Answer 3

First you have to setup the SQL Server Database to implement asp.net Membership. In order to do that you have to execute the aspnet_Regsql.exe found in C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\\aspnet_regsql.exe More information Here

Next you have to create the connection strings in your web.config to point to the right database for Membership.
