Question

i am getting this error on the asp.net mvc default site when i try to log in:

An error occurred while attempting to initialize a System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection object. The value that was provided for the connection string may be wrong, or it may contain an invalid syntax.
Parameter name: connectionString

this is in the file “AccountMembershipService” on the below code

 public bool ValidateUser(string userName, string password)
    {
        return _provider.ValidateUser(userName, password);
    }

any ideas on what might be wrong here?

Answer 1

you should change your connection string in the web.config to work with your current envirement 🙂
