ASP.NET Membership/Authentication with MySql

[haysoft]

Is is possible to use the ASP.NET membership system with MySql on Mono? I am trying to use login/logout functionality with ASP.NET on X10Hosting.

Hi haysoft,

Could you please state the exact errors you are receiving? I just saw your other thread at http://forums.x10hosting.com/progra...embership-provider-asp-net-configuration.html. Could you post your code so that we may see if there is any error in it?

My code was simply a call to Membership.Validate in a button click event handler. I would typically get the Object reference not set to an instance of an object error when I clicked the buttton.

If I cannot find a working membership provider for MySql that works on Mono, I will use an XML-based one that I found.

I found this interesting post over at MySQL: http://forums.mysql.com/read.php?38,63403,63403 You may want to take a look.

Thanks so much for you help, but I have the Xml provider working and would rather not use MySql at this time (because of the overhead; I only need a simple setup).

Thanks anyway; you were very helpful.
