I am getting the following error when I try to create a new user using Visual developer 2005: I already have admin & the users roles created.
The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. at System.RuntimeMethodHandle._InvokeMethodFast(Objec t target, Object[] arguments, SignatureStruct& sig, MethodAttributes methodAttributes, RuntimeTypeHandle typeOwner) at System.RuntimeMethodHandle.InvokeMethodFast(Object target, Object[] arguments, Signature sig, MethodAttributes methodAttributes, RuntimeTypeHandle typeOwner) at System.Reflection.RuntimeMethodInfo.Invoke(Object obj, BindingFlags invokeAttr, Binder binder, Object[] parameters, CultureInfo culture, Boolean skipVisibilityChecks) at System.Reflection.RuntimeMethodInfo.Invoke(Object obj, BindingFlags invokeAttr, Binder binder, Object[] parameters, CultureInfo culture) at System.Web.Administration.WebAdminMembershipProvid er.CallWebAdminMembershipProviderHelperMethodOutPa rams(String methodName, Object[] parameters, Type[] paramTypes) at System.Web.Administration.WebAdminMembershipProvid er.CreateUser(String username, String password, String email, String passwordQuestion, String passwordAnswer, Boolean isApproved, Object providerUserKey, MembershipCreateStatus& status) at System.Web.UI.WebControls.CreateUserWizard.Attempt CreateUser() at System.Web.UI.WebControls.CreateUserWizard.OnNextB uttonClick(WizardNavigationEventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Wizard.OnBubbleEvent(Obj ect source, EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.WebControls.CreateUserWizard.OnBubbl eEvent(Object source, EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.WebControls.Wizard.WizardChildTable.

I also noticed that in the machine.config file the following:

<configProtectedData defaultProvider="RsaProtectedConfigurationProvider ">
      <providers>
            <add name="RsaProtectedConfigurationProvider"
type="System.Configuration.RsaProtectedConfigurati onProvider,System.Configuration, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"
description="Uses RsaCryptoServiceProvider to encrypt and decrypt"
        keyContainerName="NetFrameworkConfigurationKey"
        cspProviderName=""
        useMachineContainer="true"
        useOAEP="false" />

          <add name="DataProtectionConfigurationProvider"
type="System.Configuration.DpapiProtectedConfigura tionProvider,System.Configuration, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"
description="Uses CryptProtectData and CryptUnProtectData Windows APIs to encrypt and decrypt"
        useMachineProtection="true"
        keyEntropy="" />
      </providers>
</configProtectedData>

All the underlined attributes says not declared.
Note: When we use the login tools the table and database is auto generated for u but I changed it to my database that I created in MS SQL server 2000.
After changing the connection string from default (auto generated), I noticed the line saying attribute not declared.
I have been stuck on this for the last week…So could you help me…thanks…appreciate it!

riki:
This may or may not be the solution, but "food for thought".
In application I developed, allowed users with supervisor status to add new users to the application. Once added the user would log into the application successfully and for those that were unsuccessful, I had to make sure they existed in the "Company's Domain". When added to the Domain, the users were able to access the application without a problem...

This is just food for thought.

Hope this helps.
