Replacing VS .NET's SQL Server Express Edition Integration

Scott M. · Joined: 08 Aug 2007 Posts: 49

I've seen many posts and ready articles discussing how changing the
membership & roles "provider" in VS .NET is easy, but have yet to see
instructions on how to do it.

If I already have SQL Server 2000 on a machine and didn't install SQL Server
2005 Express with my VS .NET installation, how do I set up my existing SQL
2000 server to be the membership & roles provider for ASP .NET?

Hi Scott,

As for configuring ASP.NET 2.0 membership to connect SQL Server 2000, you
need to do the following things:

** use aspnet_regsql.exe tool to setup a database in sqlserver 2000 db

** add a new membership provider in your ASP.NET 2.0 application which use
a connectionstring pointed to your SQL Server 2000 database

Here are two web articles provided detailed steps:

Server 2005
http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2005/08/25/423703.aspx

You beat me to it, Steven... Wink

Second link reposted, to fix it, as it was broken into 2 lines.

!> #Using ASP.NET 2.0 Membership API with SQL Server 2000
!> http://www.vikramlakhotia.com/Using_ASPNET_20_Membership_API_with_SQL_Server_2000.aspx

Something to keep in mind, too, is that SQL Server 2000 and SQL Server 2005 Express can coexist.
I have them both running on the same testbox at the same time.

That way, you don't have to deal with custom implementations which might require old syntax.

Ok, ScottGu's blog was a good link to answer my question.

So, now I have a follow up question, which came up in Scott's blog, but was
not answered:

If I have an existing database with my own user/password data already in a
table, how can I configure ASP .NET to use that data? How would the
provider know to use my tables and what field represents what data?

Thanks for your reply Scott,

As you said you already have an existing database that contains the
username/password, is that database previously used by membership
provider(in SQL Express)? If so, since that database has the correct
membership structure, you can surely use it. An easy way is to simply
attach the old database to new server instance(or use SSIS is they're of
diffferent version). If the database is not a membership database(but
your own user account database), I'm afraid you will need to maually import
those user account info into ASP.NET membership database through
membership APIS(such as adduser...).

1. You could write a custom membership provider.

These articles explain :

http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2005/10/17/427731.aspx

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa479038.aspx

http://www.15seconds.com/issue/050216.htm

2. You could add the tables you need to your existing database table.

Here's a guide : http://www.steamed-design.com/

....and here's info on aspnet_regsql.exe :

Yes, this would be the case. Can you tell me what APIS(such as adduser...)
means? Thanks!

Steven Cheng[MSFT] · Joined: 08 Aug 2007 Posts: 196

Sure Scott,

For the APIs, just configure your membership provider and then use the
"Membership" class's static methods such as "CreateUser" and "DeleteUser"

CreateUser Overloaded. Adds a new user to the data store.
DeleteUser Overloaded. Deletes a user from the database.

Thanks, but what I'm asking about is the opposite of what this describes.

I don't want to transfer my data into the aspnet database, I want to not use
the aspnet database and use my database instead.

Write your own Membership Provider.
That's the only way you'll be able to do that.
