Re: ASP.Net Membership & Roles Using MySQL- Basics Needed.

C) Change the ASP.NET Web Site Administration Tool to 'know' that
we're now using a remote provider...

I believe the WSAT tool is only available locally.....I learnt this the hard
way.
Thus my opinion is that is is a hobbyist tool, and not worth the effort.

You probably don't want to hear this, but I'll give you the advice anyways.

Go here:
http://aspnet.4guysfromrolla.com/demos/printPage.aspx?path=/articles/...

And take a hour or so ... and get the crappy Access Membership Provider
working.
Try not to just look at the code setup/config setup, but actually get it
working.

You'll learn the key items needed to swap out to a custom one.

..

Then approach the MySql version with that knowledge.
Once you get one working..the others seem easier.
I suggest the Access one becaue at least you have one that differs
signficantly from Sql Server...but is decently documented.

..

I did this (a year and half ago) and that little exercise still sits with
me....as I can swap out to a custom one quickly now.

This might help as well.
