I have recently created an asp.net page in visual studio 2010. I have not changed any of the prebuilt loginview code. It creates the MDF file that allows for logging in users and registering users. However, I don’t want to use the MDF file, I want to use a SQL Server instance i have running (lets call it MyServer) with a database MyDatabase. Where is the code that connects to the MDF file and is there a clean way of changing the data source? Thanks!

    You can modify your string connection in your config file (Web.config)

    Modify this section

    <connectionStrings>
   <add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=../File.mdf; Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True;Trusted_Connection=Yes"/>
</connectionStrings>

    With for example this

    <connectionStrings>
<add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=myServerAddress;Initial Catalog=myDataBase;Integrated Security=SSPI;"/>
</connectionStrings>
