.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / October 2007asp.net config...why doesn't it create membership provider?
So I'm reading/watching tutorials showing me how to set up roles and users via the Web Configuration Wizard. However, I constantly run into issues with it just not working. It appears that to enable all of this, it's supposed to be adding information to my web.config file for me: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms731049.aspx At this point, I can create roles, but not users using the Web Configuration wizard. When I go to 'create user' I just get an "An error was encountered. Please return to the previous page and try again." Is something wrong with my web configuration wizard? Am I doing something wrong? Does it just not work? -Darrel > Is something wrong with my web configuration wizard? Am I doing something > wrong? Does it just not work? As a follow-up, I can drag the CreateUserWizard control on to a page, build the project, and then add users via the web interface. I can then see these users in the Web Configuration Wizard. I just can't create new ones. -Darrel > Is something wrong with my web configuration wizard? Maybe > Am I doing something wrong? Maybe > Does it just not work? It works fine for me. If you want better answers than this you're going to need to post more information such as your Web.Config file.

It's the default 'web site' config file. Maybe I need to step back a minute. My understanding is that VS 2007 along with ASP.net 2.0 should enable the whole concept of 'drag n drop' Rapid development more palatable. Previously, I avoided it, as I loathed the code and the markup that 1.0 used, so tended to write a lot of back end code. I'm trying to get out of the habit, but I'm struggling to even get my web.config file set up. In VS.2005, if I create a SQL Express DB, how should the connection string be added to web.config? Do I still go in there and type it myself, or should I be using some sort of GUI interface widget within VS.net to handle that? I'm fine typing it all, I just feel that it's counter to all I hear about VS.net 2005. -Darrel For the default database (SQL Express in the data directory) it should just work without adding anything to Web.Config so I'm not sure why it's not working for you. However, for anything other than the default you'll need to add the entries to the web.config file. Unfortunately, I don't know of any mechanism other than manually entering it. Maybe someone else will know of a better method. > I'm fine typing it all, I just feel that it's counter to all I hear about > VS.net 2005. Asp.Net certainly gets rid of a lot of code you would have to write manually compared to web development languages (like PHP) that I've used. However, it can't get rid of all of it.
