Membership and Roles configuration issue - machine.config file?

Question

User-1166428634 posted

Hi All,

        Whenever I want to use Membership and Roles in my project then first I open machine.config file then add ConnectionString , Membership and Roles ( copying the previous code ) and then I select Provider from aspnet configuration and then i create Users and Roles.

But whenever I want to execute this code on some other machine I have to keep this machine.config file with me and paste it on that machine. I am doing wrong i know it. But I do not understand how to resolve this issue?

Thanks

You don't need to paste the machine.config file on other machine, I think you need re-do your membership and roles on other machine.

Moreover, I don't think you need to paste your project to other machine,

1) If you publish your project to Intranet, you could use it in Intranet;

2) If you publish your project to external network, all can use it.

hope it helps you,

With regards

Hi Shailendra

I don't think you need to change machine.config file on other machine when you publish it.

If there is something wrong, please let me know. Thanks

Don't do it on the machine.config file. Do it in your web.config file. We use machine.config file to change the properties for all the asp.net applications in a particular machine. web.config file is where you should add your application specific settings. Since you are shipping the web.config file when you need to execute the code on other machine, you don't have to worry about code copy pasting. web.config settings will override the settings in the machine.config file.
