I get that the MembershipProvider
is in the System.Web.Security
namespace. I have added a reference System.Web
in my project, I've added a using System.Web.Security
directive in my .cs file - but as you can see, VS2010 does not believe me:
The type or namespace name 'MembershipProvider' could not be found
(are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
What am I missing here?
You need to add a reference to System.Web.ApplicationServices.dll
.
This is mentioned in the MembershipProvider help:
Namespace: System.Web.Security
Assembly: System.Web.ApplicationServices (in System.Web.ApplicationServices.dll)
