Re: Replacing VS .NET's SQL Server Express Edition Integration

Thanks for your reply Scott,

As you said you already have an existing database that contains the
username/password, is that database previously used by membership
provider(in SQL Express)? If so, since that database has the correct
membership structure, you can surely use it. An easy way is to simply
attach the old database to new server instance(or use SSIS is they're of
diffferent version). If the database is not a membership database(but
your own user account database), I'm afraid you will need to maually import
those user account info into ASP.NET membership database through
membership APIS(such as adduser...).

Ok, ScottGu's blog was a good link to answer my question.

So, now I have a follow up question, which came up in Scott's blog, but
was
not answered:

If I have an existing database with my own user/password data already in a
table, how can I configure ASP .NET to use that data? How would the
provider know to use my tables and what field represents what data?

Hi Scott,

As for configuring ASP.NET 2.0 membership to connect SQL Server 2000, you
need to do the following things:

** use aspnet_regsql.exe tool to setup a database in sqlserver 2000 db

** add a new membership provider in your ASP.NET 2.0 application which
use
a connectionstring pointed to your SQL Server 2000 database

Here are two web articles provided detailed steps:

SQL
Server 2005

I've seen many posts and ready articles discussing how changing the
membership & roles "provider" in VS .NET is easy, but have yet to see
instructions on how to do it.

If I already have SQL Server 2000 on a machine and didn't install SQL
Server
2005 Express with my VS .NET installation, how do I set up my existing
SQL
2000 server to be the membership & roles provider for ASP .NET?
