Error using Login control ASP.NET App_Data Folder

[aboutjav.com]

Hi,

I am writing a login functionality for my asp.net 2.0 website. I used
the Login control from the visual studio tool panel and drag it over
to my asp.net webpage. In my development pc, it works without any
error. I noticed that it creates the following in my App_Data folder

MyWebSiteName_log.LDF
MyWebSiteName.mdf
ASPNETDB.MDF
aspnetdb_log.ldf


When I migrate the App_Data folder over to the lunarpage domain and
test the login feature again, I get the following message. Any help is
greatly appreciated for this beginner.

Thanks for reading my post..

and attach the database in the app_data folder. check you provider for
connection setting required for their sqlserver, and if you have attach

[Peter Bromberg [C# MVP]]

This is an extremely common problem that derives basically from the fact that
the UserInstance type of connection string is for SQLEXPRESS only and is
designed to work on localhost and is really intended only for development
purposes.

In production, one would want to attach the database MDF/LDF files using SQL
Server Management Studio (or T-SQL commands) and use a standard connection
string of the form
server=(local);database=mydatabase;uid=username;pwd=password

Hi,

How do I attach the .mdf and .ldf with the SQL Server Management
Studio Express?
Do I attached all 4 files?

MyWebSiteName_log.LDF
MyWebSiteName.mdf
ASPNETDB.MDF
aspnetdb_log.ldf

When I click on my database node and expand, I see the task\Detach...
No Attach.

Currently, In production, I can access my sql server database. If I
understand correctly,
I use the same connection string and attach the mdf database and the
Login control
should work as well as the Register control. correct?

Thanks...

I've had this issue on a couple different web sites that use the
ASPNETDB.mdf SQL Express DB while I am using SQL Server 2005 (Don't have SQL
Express installed on my development machine).

I've successfully gotten around it by adding the following to my websites
root web.config:

<connectionStrings>
<remove name="LocalSqlServer"/>
<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Data
Source='sqlservername';AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|ASPNETDB.mdf;Integrated Security=False; User Instance=false;uid='uid';pwd='pwd '"/>
</connectionStrings>

So in the above connection string you would replace 'sqlservername' with
your sql server name and 'uid' with a valid userid and 'pwd' with a valid
password. Remember not to include the single quotes in the string and in my
case I used a SQL Server Admin uid and pwd. I believe you have to use ad
admin id so you can execute the attachdbfilename successfully.
