Take a look at the parameters available for aspnet_regsql.exe.

aspnet_regsql.exe /?

You can specify a different database name, the server instance, etc. We develop lots of applications for different customers and having the ability to store membership information in separate databases for each application is a must.

Mixx, the code above is just a connection string to use the database. You should make sure the wizard created the database and the required tables? And also make sure you are using the right SQL Server instance, database and user in the connection string?

Sorry for the double post, but after removing said code i get this error:

[SqlException (0x80131904): Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in retrieving the user's local application data path. Please make sure the user has a local user profile on the computer. The connection will be closed.]

Everything works great, untill the part where i have to paste the code into my web.config file. After doing that:

500 – Internal server error.
There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed.

A couple of tries later, same result.

Hey Vinoth,

You should add the XML code above to your project’s web.config file. Under connectionstrings.

Hi Joyce, the wizard creates the structure (tables, views and stored procedures) needed to use the database for ASP.NET memberships. There are 3 ways you could copy the database. You could copy the database’s mdf and ldf files to the new location and attach it using SQL Server Management Studio, backup the database and restore it in the new location, or generate the SQL statements needed to create the structure and run it in the new location.
