In web.config i have connection string but i would like to use MemBershipUser on different connection string. Is that possible, and if yes how?

Answer 1

Just add an extra connectionstring and use that in your membership configuration. Look at this example: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6e9y4s5t.aspx As you can see, the membership section references its connection string by name.

Answer 2

found the solution if someone else has similar problem:

A simpler, albeit somewhat eyebrow-raising solution is just modifying the connection string in the providers early enough in the request's lifecycle:

      private void SetProviderConnectionString(string connectionString)
    {
        // Set private property of Membership, Role and Profile providers.
        var connectionStringField = Membership.Provider.GetType().GetField("_sqlConnectionString", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
        if (connectionStringField != null)
            connectionStringField.SetValue(Membership.Provider, connectionString);

        var roleField = Roles.Provider.GetType().GetField("_sqlConnectionString", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
        if (roleField != null)
            roleField.SetValue(Roles.Provider, connectionString);

        var profileField = ProfileManager.Provider.GetType().GetField("_sqlConnectionString", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
        if (profileField != null)
            profileField.SetValue(ProfileManager.Provider, connectionString);
    }
