[dba-VB] asp.net membership

Hi Doug --

Handling a ASP.NET apps' membership and roles is implemented using
membership and role provider classes.
By default/the only option for "out-of-the-box" ASP.NET apps are the ones
using MS SQL DB to handle membership and roles information.
But you can implement your own providers with any backend - even just
(encrypted) text files - getting stored/keeping/providing membership and
roles information...

Thank you.

Hello All:

When you build an ASP.net website, it defaults to using the ASP.net built in
membership classes, which use a sql server database.  Can you use these
classes on a server which doesn't have SQL Server (or
Express) installed, ie does ASP.net have the SQL server drivers built in?

Thanks,
Doug
