The "Web Site Administration Tool" in ASP.NET 2.0 is missing for remote sites in VWD

[RCS]

All,

When I create a website locally, I have that little Administration tool (the
little icon in the Solution Explorer - or under Website | Web Site
Administration) - but when I connect to a 2.0 webhost (and the rest of the
site compiles fine under 2.0) - I don't have that option.

More specifically, I want this tool so I can easily setup roles and users
for a website - and it seems like without that tool, I would have to do that
via the database directly.

Does anyone know what the dependencies are for this functionality in Visual
Web Developer on why it shows this when connected to a local machine, but
not a remote one? Thanks!

Have you noticed using the Website Administrator Tool does not use system
time to record users and roles in the database?

The more I tried to learn about it the more I learned it is either
incomplete or broken.
