I am inserting a user using membership provider 

protected void Button3_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        MembershipCreateStatus status;
        MembershipUser user = Membership.CreateUser("chandu1", "P@ssw0rd", "rasdsd@sdsdh.com", "null", "null", true, out status);

        switch(status)
  {
             case MembershipCreateStatus.DuplicateUserName:
             Response.Write("User already exists in system.Please select different name and try again");
             break;
             case MembershipCreateStatus.DuplicateEmail :
             Response.Write("Duplicate Email");
             break;
             case MembershipCreateStatus.Success :
             Response.Write("User has been created successfully");
             break;

    if you use a ASP.net website, you’ll need to look at the Web.Config, if you use an other kind of project you need to take a look at the App.Config

    These files are the places where they store the connectionstring to lets say a DB

    Part of a web.config

    <connectionStrings>
    <add name="ApplicationServices" connectionString="data source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|aspnetdb.mdf;User Instance=true" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>

    As you can see here there is the connectionstring which will tell the membershipprovider where to look for the Database or file.

    next to that there are some Nodes in you Web.Config that tell something about the authentication mode and membershipprovider.

    If you want to use the ASP.netDB for saving users/roles take a look at the Aspnet_regsql command that can be found in the %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\VersionNumber

    Here another nice example of how to create an asp.net MVC2 website using Forms authentication

    Have fun 🙂
