Re: How to Remote a custom membership or profile provider ???

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Your problem isn't completely clear. When you create your own custom provider, you choose which configuration attributes it has. If you don't want your provider to have a connectionStringName property, don't add it to your provider and write the code to support it (it is not a required attribute).

Keep in mind there are different providers for different features. For example, there is a Membership provider (authentication), Role provider (authorization), and Profile provider (personalization). If you are trying to use all of those features, you will have to create a custom provider implementation for each.

Your post only mentions creating a custom profile provider, so I'm guessing you probably still need to write custom Membership and Role providers if you want to take advantage of those features. If you want to use the Login controls, you will definitely have to create a custom Membership provider that uses remoting to get its data, as opposed to the default SqlMembershipProvider which uses a connection string.

If you need to create a custom Role provider, my RoleProvider Visual Studio template should save you some time:
