Hi, I'm having an issue with my .net role provider when I try to move my code to the production server. Everything works fine in my local, but once it is copied over to our production server it just doesn't work anymore. It seems like it does not recognize the location of the roles databases. Membership along copies over and works just fine, as I tried this before enabling the roles.<br />
<br />
After googling for a solution I found an article that suggested to overwrite a hidden connection string for my role provider and make sure that it pointed to my database, it also required that I took my aspnetdb.mdf database from my app_data folder and attach it to my sql server.. one problem I'm having with this particular process is that my aspnetdb.mdf seems to be in a 2008 version of sql express, where our production servers runs a 2005 version, therefore when I try to attach it.. it just gives me an error and stops.<br />
<br />
Is this the right approach at all? or is there anything else I could try in order to fix this???

Deploying ASP.net roles to Production

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications

ASP.NET

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
