Chapter 16: Working with the Login Controls

phztfte1 · January 16th, 2016, 08:20 PM

Step 10. Open the Web.config file and modify the <authentication> element so that it points the loginUrl to ~/Login/ like this:

Code:

<authentication ="Forms">
   <forms loginUrl="~/Login"/>
</authentication>

In the Web.config file, I get a green squiggly line under "forms" and a red squiggly line under the last "authentication".

How do I correct?

Here is my Web.config file:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Hi Imar,

I found the problem: there was a forward slash in the authentication mode line.

I got blinded from looking at the code for so long. (lol)
