Re: Using ASP.NET Configuration Tool Remotely?

Thanks Scott, I've actually figured this out since my original post. In the end, I found it easier to create a simple ASPX page that does what I need on the server. But, yes, the ASP.NET Configuration tool uses the LocalSqlServer connection string from the project's web.config file.

Thanks, but I don't understand why the ASP.NET configuration tool can't log
on remotely (which is supported by my hosting provider) and making whatever
changes it would make locally. Both are SQL Server databases. One is just
connected to remotely.

It can. The config tool uses the same web.config as your web application. Just change the web.config of your web site then start the config tool.

I'm not sure what you mean about uploading the config and database. I
wouldn't want to upload the database because it would overwrite the live
version. And I'm not sure what changes to the config I would be making.

Change the ConnectionString pointed to by your membership default provider.
