Using asp.net membership with sqlite or other provider?

Question

Does anyone have any examples of using Sqlite with ASP.NET membership? I am building a small "drop-in" type web application and don't want to rely on an SQL database for storing user credentials, etc. Sqlite seems like a good option, and I have been impressed with its performance in Elmah; I wouldn't mind using xml as a data store either.

On another note, perhaps asp.net membership isn't a good choice for basic form level security? The app will not require more then a couple users for those who implement it, and at this time I don't see a need for roles. My thought of using asp.net membership is simplicity to setup and get running; why build a security class if I don't need to, right?

Any other suggestion are surely welcome; thank you for your time.

Answer 1

For using the membership provider with other databases look at a custom membership provider

Answer 2

I am a big fan of SQLlite as well. I would say asp.net membership is good enough for the basic stuff.

Answer 3

It looks like Roger Martin's project - http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/SQLite-Providers.aspx - is now the recommendation for SQLite connectivity.

This is suggested by Peter Bromberg (http://twitter.com/peterbromberg/status/5031854389) and the next top resource on Google is the above by Roger Martin, who suggests that as the place to get the provider (http://galleryserverpro.blogspot.com/2009/08/new-release-adds-support-for-flash.html#comments).

Seeing as how it's part of a semi-commercial product (and the author is trying to get back to work on it as a full-time job), it seems this will be kept up to date.
