Using Kellner's ASP.NET Membership Console with MySql

by Marvin 25. January 2009 08:35

At this point, I've done a few ASP.NET websites, hosted on GoDaddy, that have user accounts using the ASP.NET Membership and Role providers and all the great web controls that ship with ASP.NET.  Each time, I ended up wanting to give the admin users of the site an interface to be able to manage the site membership accounts, grant access privileges, create, edit and remove accounts.  ASP.NET doesn't come with that, but there are some open-source projects out there which can give you this.  I really like Peter Kellner's membership management console which you can download here.  However, when I tried to use it with MySql and the .NET Connector v5.2.3 and deployed to GoDaddy, I ran into some unique challenges that I hadn't encountered when using Sql Server in the past.  This article explains how I worked around the challenges and successfully implemented the tool in a web application using VS Pro 2008, .NET 3.5, MySql 5.0 and the .NET Connector v5.2.3.  More...

Implement .NET Membership and Roles using MySql Connector 5.2.3 on GoDaddy

About the author

I am a junior-level C# .NET developer living in Nashville, TN.  I'm currently working in biomedical informatics, developing a web service, a MySql database, and a web application.  Every week or so, I spend hours trying to figure out how to do something, and after I find the solution, I really want to make sure I don't go through that exercise again.  I love to write.  It helps me to remember things.  So, I use this blog as a way to document those painful lessons as I learn them.  It has already helped me to be able to refer back to them.  I hope some of these will save someone else some time as well.
