Question

I have changed my Application Services Database to store membership things into my web site database.
After that, when I want to add User with the ASP.NET Web Site Administration Tool, I get the following exception:

Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. at System.RuntimeMethodHandle._InvokeMethodFast(IRuntimeMethodInfo

How can I fix this?
By the way, I’ve added a foreign key in my aspnet_user to point to my UserProperties Table.
Maybe I broke something by doing this?
And I can add roles without any trouble!

If you have passwordFormat=”Encrypted” then you MUST have machineKey.

<machineKey    validationKey= "*****YOUR_VALIDATION_KEY*****"
decryptionKey= "*****YOUR_VALIDATION_DECRYPTIONKEY*****"
validation="SHA1"
decryption="AES"/>

This is where I generated my machineKey:
