Rachel,
Search for aspnet_regsql
I think it would be a best practice to use aspnet_regsql and tell your web
application where the catalog is versus creating your own application service
providers.
The following will give you asp.net application provider support for
webparts personalization, roles, and membership with sql 200.
run aspnet_regsql from a dotnet 2.0 or vs2005 command prompt follow the
wizzard. then in your web.config file override localsqlserver to your
database
<connectionStrings>
<remove name="LocalSqlServer" />
<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="your connection string to
catalog with aspnet" />
</connectionStrings>
Good Luck

Hi All,
I have customized the Membership API and was able to create and validate
users using my own database tables in SQL Server 2000.
I would like to customize the WebParts and save the user customization of
these WebParts to my own database tables but could not find any samples in
this area. I don’t want to maintain the membership information in my database
and maintain the personalized web parts information in the ASPNETDB
separately.
Is this possible and does anyone have any examples or best practices for
doing this?
TIA
Rachel
