What is the membership provider name and type is used in the Microsoft Webmatrix’s

  • 0

What is the membership provider name and type is used in the Microsoft Webmatrix’s template site? In the web.config it is not given. When I run it locally, the template works but when I publish, it gives the following error:

Parser Error Message: The connection name ‘LocalSqlServer’ was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty.

Source Error: 

Line 239:      <providers>
Line 240:        <add name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider, ....

Source File: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\Config\machine.config Line: 240

Any help will be appreciated.

The Database used in the application is SQLCE4.
