Code:

<membership defaultProvider="MyMembership">
   	<providers>
   	<add name="MyMembership" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" 
connectionStringName="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Persist Security Info=True;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=iceman90289_ASPNETDB" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" requiresUniqueEmail="True"/>
</providers>

its complaining about the red and idk what is the problem. im kind of starting to give up and start over...

Parser Error Message: The connection name 'Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Persist Security Info=True;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=iceman90289_ASPNETDB' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty.

in actuality i dont even think i know what my problem is. here is the link to my site

When adding a provider the value connectionStringName expects the NAME of a connection string already in your web.config.

Example

xml Code:

...
<connectionStrings> 
<add name="myconnection" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Persist Security Info=True;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=iceman90289_ASPNETDB" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> 
</connectionStrings>
...
 
<membership defaultProvider="MyMembership">
    <providers>
    <add name="MyMembership" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" 
connectionStringName="myconnection" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" requiresUniqueEmail="True"/>
</providers>
</membership>
