I get to figure 18-6 and then get the following error on submitting the users info:

"An error was encountered. Please return to the previous page and try again.

The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. at System.RuntimeMethodHandle._InvokeMethodFast(..."

I've cut out the rest of the error message (the full message from the event log is below)

Hi,

I was not able to recreate the same error with no luck. I will do some research and let you know if I find out what is happening. Is this still an issue for you?

Bryan

Thanks - it must be something I'm doing wrong, since it's on 3 different installs I've done. I've just copied your project code, with no modifications to it. I've tried googling under various search terms with no luck either. Is there maybe a prerequisite or step I'm missing?

Can anyone help with this one? If you can get it to work, what is your setup? (Installation and configuration steps)

I get this error every so often when I use encrypted passwords without a key. When I embed a key in the system.web section of web.config it sorts me out. I thought maybe this will help someone else. http://www.eggheadcafe.com/articles/...achineKey.aspx
