1.
ValidateUser is not a member of 'Membership'. Checkout.aspx.vb. Line 147.

2.
ValidateUser is not a member of 'Membership'. CreateDefaultUsers.aspx.vb. Line 23.

3.
CreateUser is not a member of 'Membership'. Checkout.aspx.vb. Line 24.

4.
GetAllUsers is not a member of 'Membership'. LoginDetails.aspx.vb. Line 14.

Can anyone please tell me whats gone wrong ? I'm finding the solution evasive.
Thanks.

You have to create an instance of your Membership Provider and use the methods of that.
Example:

Dim m As SqlMembershipProvider = CType(Membership.Providers("MySqlProvider"), SqlMembershipProvider)
   If m.ValidateUser(tbUserName.Text, tbPassword.Text) = True Then
   'setting the cookie is needed to show authorazion
   FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(tbUserName.Text, False)
   'OR use RedirectFromLoginPage()
End If

Thanks for that - I'll try it......

ok let me know how it goes.

Hi,
My LoginDetails.aspx.vb file looks like:
----------------------------------------------------------
Partial Class LoginDetails
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

        If Not Page.IsPostBack Then
            ' make sure the page can't be accessed in real mode
            If ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("mode") = "Real" Then
                MessagePanel.Visible = True
                UsersRolesPanel.Visible = False
            End If

            UserList.DataSource = Membership.GetAllUsers()
            UserList.DataBind()
            UserList.SelectedIndex = 0

            RoleList.DataSource = Roles.GetAllRoles()
            RoleList.DataBind()
            RoleList.SelectedIndex = 0
        End If

    End Sub

    Protected Sub UserList_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles UserList.SelectedIndexChanged

        RolesForUser.DataSource = Roles.GetRolesForUser(UserList.SelectedValue)
        RolesForUser.DataBind()

    End Sub

    Protected Sub RoleList_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RoleList.SelectedIndexChanged

        UsersInRole.DataSource = Roles.GetUsersInRole(RoleList.SelectedValue)
        UsersInRole.DataBind()

    End Sub
------------------------------------------------------------------
Line 14 is; UserList.DataSource = Membership.GetAllUsers()
I have one member in my table called Membership, that member is in all roles, ie admin etc., I take it line 14 is getting all users from the membership table. Having looked at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...ovMod_Prt1.asp
I conclude that ValidateUser is saying that 'someuser' is not in the membership database ? If I am correct who is that user ? My SQLEXPRESS server is set to use 'Network Service' for logon control, so is that the user I am logged on to my Pc as ? If so, should I create that user as a member of the membership table ?
Did look at your answer but didnt truely understand it and wanted to understand the mechanism more anyway.
Thanks in advance.

What errors are you getting and on what lines of code? Are you using a login control? Create user control?

You need to supply more detailed info with errors and what line the error(s) are on.

Hi,
Errors are occuring on build site (F5) in Visual Web Developer 2005 Express, its then that I get the error codes as described in first post...(above). I am using a login control (std from Wrox United download).
You say "You need to supply more detailed info with errors and what line the error(s) are on." - this is as first post - do you need more ? How can I give you more ? There is a create user control, I suspect its not related.
Specifically - Error #4 - "GetAllUsers is not a member of 'Membership'. LoginDetails.aspx.vb. Line 14." - what does this mean, i.e. what is it trying to tell me ?
Confused. Hope this helps, thanks for perseverance.

More info (in the hope that it helps):
I have the primary development website on my laptop, when I F5 build it I get no errors, when I copy it to my server and do a "aspnet_compiler -v THC2) I get "error BC30456: 'ValidateUser is not a member of 'Membership'." on my server when I open the website in Visual Web Developer 2005 Express and start debugging (F5) I get no errors ! So I conclude that the problem is local (to laptop) - so, whats different ? answer = one runs on a local (laptop) SQL & ASPNETDB.mdf and the other runs on a different (server) SQL & ASPNETDB.mdf. So I conclude that the problem lies in one of the SQL & ASPNETDB.mdf (server or local based) areas. Does that make sense ?
