Can someone please explain why?
In VS2005, I created a starter kit personal website. Then used web
configuration tool to setup user / roles etc (just like it says to in the
welcome screen)... Everything is nice and happy.
Now, I got to fiddling with other things... As part of that fiddling, I
removed the LocalSQLServer entry from the GLOBAL settings on my local web
server. (don't ask why..)
Later I load up VS2005, open my website project... view in browser... looks
just like it did yesterday... I even use the website to test uploading a
photo and registering a new user... all is right in the world.
Next, I open up .NET Web Admin tool... go to the security tab and attempt to
create a third user... I get "An error was encountered. Please return to the
previous page and try again." with no additional explanation at all. I
click the back button... I find my other two users...they're still there. I
look at the roles....they're still there. I even added a new role...
"Enemies"
Ok so I tired a number of different things... but create user always brings
up the unhelpful error message, and most of the other admin tasks work fine.
On a hunch, I put back the LocalSQLServer entry, and re-launched VS 2005 and
Web Admin... Now "Create User" works again...
What gives? Why does it need (but not use) the global entry if my local
application overrides it?
