ASP.NET Web Application Administration
Hi,
I am doing a project and created my own database, how can I link my database so I can use it through ASP.NET Web Application Administration tool because each time I try to use it, a new database is created the ASPNETDB.MDF.
Thank you and regards!!!

Hi Imar,
Sorry I am new using this forum and forgot to specify the book I was using.
I am learning with the "Beginning ASP.NET 2.0 with C#" book. I want to attach my database to manage the roles and profiles with the Web Site Administration tool. I am not even sure that it is possible to do this! My web site is going to have 4 different types of users, ADMINISTRATOR, CUSTOMER, EMPLOYEE and GUEST and if I use the ASPNETDB.MDF I only have the possibility to have just 1 user table and I need 4.
Best regards!

This particular forum is for the book ASP.NET 2.0 Instant Results. For the Beginning ASP.NET forum, take a look here:
http://p2p.wrox.com/book-beginning-asp-net-2-0-book-vb-isbn-978-0-7645-8850-1-c-isbn-978-0-470-04258-8-228/
That said, ASP.NET allows you to have many different user accounts. And with the Role manager, you can assign them to many different roles as well. Look in the index of the book for Roles to see the various pages / chapters that deal with this feature.
Cheers,
Imar

Yes Imar and thank you again but I already read all the book. What I want to know is if it is any chance to use my own database and manage it using the web site administration tool or if I have to use necessarily the ASPNETDB.MDF. I am asking you this because I am not going to require the same information from all users and I don't want null values for any column. What if I need to add another table to the ASPNETDB.MDF and make relations? I think that is impossible.
Regards!

which just isn't true. Well, it's true that by design you only have one table, but you don't need more as you can use the same table to store multiple types of users.
Anyway, look at the tool aspnet_regsql in your Framework folder under Windows. It's used to change an existing database for support for the application services like Membership and Roles.
Googling for this tool or searching the Wrox archive should bring up useful documents about using it.
Can we move this thread to the Beginning or Pro ASP.NET forums as I think it belongs there. If you can't move it, can you start a new thread for follow up questions and refer to this one?
