I have a standard ASP.NET project. I have created a login control on the page and now I would like to start adding the option to register as a member on my page.

My problem is that when I click "Asp.net Configuration" in the solution explorer or under the Projects tab. Nothing opens up.

I have made sure that my project is not running, the configuration window just won't open.

as I understand, your app.config file is not opening right?

I'm looking for the website administration tool described here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/yy40ytx0.aspxIt's supposed to open when I click ASP.NET Configuration in Project -> ASP.NET Configuration.

First check if you have an aspnetdb.mdf under the App_Data subfolder of that you previously set up the needed tables for the application services in another database.

If you haven't got these then build the solution and navigate to the page which has the login control on it. Normally ASP.NET will generate the needed database aspnetdb.mdfin the App_Data folder. Once you have that database you should be able to use the configuration which starts a web application with which you can create your users and define the roles to which they belong.

Something is opening now, but when the web-browser opens up I am getting an error.The asp.net web administration tool is giving me this error - "An error was encountered. Please return to the previous page and try again. "

And when you try again, then what happens? Another thing to check: is the path to the application longer than 100 characters? I've seen people stating that as a possible error.

I had this exact same problem. Apparently the ASP.NET Web Administration Tool does not like paths with "non-standard" characters or even spaces! My solution was located in a path that contained many spaces (ie. "C:\Source Code\My Source Code\...") simply replacing the spaces with an underscore character ("_") solved my issue.
