The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

FormsAuthentication.Authenticate will not return TRUE using providername="System.Data.SqlClient"

Asked by stanvickers in Programming for ASP.NET

Experts:  

Ok - here is the latest challenge...   I've created a SQLExpress Database using the cool aspnet_regsql tool.  That creates all the tables needed for authentication.  After that I setup web.config with a LocalSqlServer connection... next I used the web configuration tool to select AspNetSqlProvider as my authentication provider DB... I setup a user in the DB, Allow my admin group and deny ? (unauth) users... everything is great so far... Run the app, my logon comes up, I type in user / pwd and FormsAuthentication.Authenticate returns FALSE.  ARGH!!!!  Can't figure out why... I wrote the password down correctly...  I tried setting up a new user... I tried detaching the DB from SQLExpress and moving into my project thinking it may be permissions or something...  nothing.

My guess it is some sort of permissions issue, but "Authenticate" only returns T/F... no feedback.

Here is some of my setup... nothing complicated... I'm just testing before I convert my app to SQL from Access:
----------------------------------------------
Web.Config:
      <connectionStrings>
  <remove name="LocalSqlServer" />
  <add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\ics.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"
   providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
 </connectionStrings>
-------------------------------------------
Code on Login:
  Protected Sub Login1_Authenticate(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.AuthenticateEventArgs) Handles Login1.Authenticate

    If FormsAuthentication.Authenticate(Login1.UserName, Login1.Password) Then
      FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(Login1.UserName, Login1.RememberMeSet)
    End If
  End Sub
--------------------------------------------
OH - using VS2005, language=vb, SQLExpress latest ver.

Thanks for your help in advance!
