I have an ASP.NET MVC 4 app. My database is hosted on Windows Azure. My solution has a new SQL Server Database project. I want to start off by adding adding the ASP.NET Membership functionality to this Database [project]. My question is, how do I do that?

I thought it would be a straight forward drag and drop operation. However, I cannot figure out how to do this basic task. All of the online videos I find demonstrate how to to implement the login via the ASP.NET MVC side. However, I don’t see anything that shows setting up the Membership tables/sprocs/views and getting them in a SQL Server Database project.

Thank you for any insights.

    The template for creating an MVC 4 Internet application with forms-based authentication uses both the traditional ASP.NET Membership database with an additional layer on top called SimpleMembership, which has its own database. The SimpleMembership database uses Entity Framework code-first model which creates the database automatically the first time you start the application. Since SimpleMembership uses code-first the database schema can be modified by changing the UserProfile class in AcccountModels.cs. What is your objective for putting these databases that are handled by the application into a separate database project? Unless you are going to bypass SimpleMembership any solution will have to handle two databases.
