Question

I have MSSQL 2008 database, which is hosted on a server. The database have a table called Users. The table structure is

USER_ID,
USER_NAME,
USER_PASSWORD,
USER_ROLE,
CREATED_BY,
CREATED_DATE,
MODIFIED_BY,
MODIFIED_DATE

I want to use this datatable with the Membership Provider and Role Manager. Is there a way of doing that without adding aditional tables to the database or using ASP.NET SQL Server Setup Wizard. If it is impossible, should I create a cookie to store UserId, UserName and UserRole? I configured the connectionString in the Web.config file, because I am using the Entity Framework.

Thank you i advance for your help.

Answer 1

You will have to write a custom membership provider.
