在控制台应用程序中使用ASP.NET成员资格

Question

I am creating a console application that will automatically create users into a database of a web application that is built in mvc and uses the built in membership provider and roles for forms authentication.

How can I use the AccountMembershipService and MembershipCreateStatus classes from that in a console application??? I've added assemblies and refrences to System.Web and System.Web.Mvc and security etc but cannot get it to recognise those classes.

Answer 1

Copy the relevant elements from your web projects web.config into the winforms app.config .

System.Web.Mvc is not required, and you'll also have to change from Net 4 Client Profile to .NET 4 under project settings.

Answer 2

Use this guide from MS. Be sure to place the attribute in section in app.config if you use multiple providers otherwise you may get something else as default provider and strange exceptions for provider assemblies too :).
