I created a project with VS 2005 and SQL Server 2005. When I try to create user with the listed below web.config and Asp.net Web Site Administration Tool, I get "An error was encountered. Please return to the previous page and try again." I successfully created roles and tested AspNetSqlProvider under Provider section of Asp.net Web Site Administration Tool. But when I try to create User it ends with an error. Can the problem be from SQL Server security problem or Asp.net Security or browser? I have little knowledge with web.config configuration too. Please help.

Is this really in your web.config, or is it an encoding issue in this forum??

type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider,#xD;#xA;
     System.Web,#xD;#xA;

I think it should look like this:

type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"

Hope this helps,
