Problem manipulating asp.net membership programmatically

[John]

Hi

I am trying to manipulation asp.net membership programmatically from a
winform app. I have added the connectionstring and membership & role setting
fragment to my app's app.config file as per this article;

http://blogs.msdn.com/msdnts/archive...commentmessage

However when I try to use code like;

Dim ret As MembershipCreateStatus

in VB.net I get the error 'Type 'MembershipCreateStatus' is not defined'.
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Regards

You need to import the System.Web.Security namespace :

<%@ Import Namespace="System.Web.Security" %>

Hi John,

Seems it's a compilation error. Sure that you add reference to System.Web.dll
and import the namespage System.Web.Security (see the reqs at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...atestatus.aspx)

Two things:

1. Make sure you have a reference to the System.Web DLL
2. Make sure you have a "imports" statement for System.Web.Security

You can set up a "global" reference in teh config, if you so desire.
