What is happening is that the use...
I have no use for the ProviderUserKey in the MembershipUser object, as my roles database has it's own ID's. If I'm using C#, how do I call the membershipuser constructor so that it creates the user without this key? What are the implications of not providing this key to the provider? Does the ProviderUserKey become part of the Principa...
How do I disable the account lockout feature of the SqlMembershipProvider? The MSDN documentation for the MaxInvalidPasswordAttempts property does not specify how to disable it.

I am using the default sql membership provider with ASP.NET and I would like to provide a page to change the user's username.

Do most people use .NET's SqlMembershipProvider, SqlRoleProvider, and SqlProfileProvider when developing a site with membership capabilities?
