connecting to a database in visual studio for membership

Question

I have a website that I created. In the Appdata folder I created a database (info.mdf).

I connected it to SQLEXpress

I have added NETWORK SERVICE to available users in SQL mngmnt studio. I went to user mapping and added my database. I selected the db_owner, public and aspnet_Membership_FullAccess. I did the same process with my local username but I guess because of the way I setup my database the local user shows up as dbo under the users in the actual database.

I altered my web.config to say:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

  <system.web>

        <add name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" connectionStringName="MembershipConnection" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" requiresUniqueEmail="false" maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5" minRequiredPasswordLength="6" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" passwordAttemptWindow="10" applicationName="/"/>
        <add name="SqlProvider"
           type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider"
           connectionStringName="MembershipConnection"
           enablePasswordReset="true"
           requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false"
           requiresUniqueEmail="false"
           maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="10"
           passwordAttemptWindow="30"
           minRequiredPasswordLength="3"
           minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0"
           applicationName="/" />

      </providers>
    </membership>
    <roleManager enabled ="true" />

  </system.web>
  <system.webServer>
    <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

I also tried Trusted_Connection=Yes in the connection string as well as Integrated Security=SSPI

The error I get is:

[SqlException (0x80131904): Cannot open database "Info" requested by the login. The login failed. Login failed for user 'MachineName\\username'.]

Ideas?

This link says that in order to do windows authentication, you must have

Trusted_Connection=Yes

or

Integrated Security=SSPI

in the connection string. Hope this helps!
