Hi,
When the application doesn't use Roles, this configuration (web.config)
works:
<configuration>
<connectionStrings>
<clear/>
<add name="myconn" connectionString="Data Source=.\sqlexpress;Initial
Catalog=mydb;Integrated Security=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
</connectionStrings>
....
<membership>
<providers>
<remove name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider"/>
<add name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider"
type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider, System.Web,
Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"
connectionStringName="myconn" />
</providers>
</membership>
....
When i use Roles with this web.config:
------------------------------------------------------
<configuration>
<connectionStrings>
<clear/>
<add name="myconn" connectionString="Data Source=.\sqlexpress;Initial
Catalog=mydb;Integrated Security=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
</connectionStrings>
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow roles="role1"/>
<allow roles="role2"/>
</authorization>
<roleManager enabled="true">
<providers>
</providers>
</roleManager>
....
<membership>
<providers>
<remove name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider"/>
<add name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider"
type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider, System.Web,
Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"
connectionStringName="myconn" />
</providers>
</membership>
....
I get this error: "The connection name 'LocalSqlServer' was not found in the
applications configuration or the connection string is empty"
line 149: <add name="AspNetSqlRoleProvider"
connectionStringName="LocalSqlServer" applicationName="/" ...
Source File:
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Conf ig\machine.config line 149
I solved this by adding in web.config this line: <add name="LocalSqlServer"
connectionString="Data Source=.\sqlexpress;Initial Catalog=mydb;Integrated
Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
But i would like understand what happened.
Why do i have to add the second connectionString "LocalSqlServer" only when
using Roles? Whats' the meaning of that error in machine.config?
Thanks
