Hey

ASP.NET 2.0

this code "private MembershipUserCollection allUsers =
Membership.GetAllUsers();" crashes my web portal. Below you see the inner
exception

Innet Exception:

System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException was unhandled by user code

This is my membership provider (web.config)

<membership defaultProvider="AH_MembershipProvider"
userIsOnlineTimeWindow="15">
<providers>
<add name="AH_MembershipProvider"
connectionStringName="LocalSqlServer"
applicationName="/"
enablePasswordRetrieval="true"
enablePasswordReset="true"
requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true"
requiresUniqueEmail="true"
passwordFormat="Encrypted"
maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5"
passwordAttemptWindows="10"
minRequiredPasswordLength="5"
minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0"
type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider, System.Web,
Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa' " />
</providers>
</membership>

Any suggestions on how to solve this problem?

Best Regards

Jeff
 
There are instances where you need to strip out the garbage from a site,
esp. if you publish instead of just copy all source (the latter being a bad
thing in a production site). Open the web config and remove the assemblies
add lines for the dlls in question (under <compilation>). If you have
already compiled (published), they are not needed anyway. That is what I
would try first. If it does not work, follow up and the issue can be dug
into deeper.
