I'm not sure what you mean by "sql provider string".
The string used in the defaultProvider attribute of the membership
element, and the "name" attribute of the add element, can be anything.
Just make it up - it doesn't have any meaning, it is just a way to
reference your configured provider.
If you are asking for an example of the entire configuration section,
try looking in your machine.config for the default configured provider.
On a default install, where c:\windows is your windows folder, the file
is at:
C:\WINDOWS\Micr osoft.NET\Frame work\v2.0.50727 \CONFIG\machine .config
If you open that file and search for "AspNetSqlMembe rshipProvider", you
will find the default configured membership provider.
It uses the "LocalSqlServer " connection string, which is also defined in
machine.config. Search for it, and you should find it within a
connectionStrin gs element. That will give you the connection information
for the SQL Server installed with VS2005.
Hope that helps.
