Hello,
I have a question on the default: AspNetSqlProvider. I know that, by
default, this looks for a database created locally in the appdata
directory. Although I have learned how to change the connection, it
involves modifying the web.config file manually, which made me wonder:
-Is the default connection stored anywhere globally? If not, is it
simply a part of the object?
Next, I see that when you go to select the provider in the ASP.Net
Configuration tool, you will get a message (should the local DB not
exist yet) that you should use the aspnet_regsql tool at the command
line. While this tool CREATES the database whereever you want, it does
not change the settings of the ASPNetSQLProvider connection string (at
least for me).
-Is that normal behavior?
I guess I am just trying to get an understanding of where the values of
these things are stored, whether in some global config file somewhere,
in the objects themselves, or elsewhere AND making sure that my GUI is
working properly. I saw a lot of things talking about how the GUI
could really assist in creating the web config file, but perhaps some
things need to be done by hand???
Lastly, I upgraded from Visual Studio 2003 and have IIS 4.0. I do not
see any of my 2005 web projects.
-Is that normal? Do I need to upgrade to IIS 5.0 or higher in order to
fully manage by .net 2.0 apps?
Thanks,
Ryan
