Re User Name and Password to log in Admin section Dear Bipin, Please let me know how to enter into admin section. as i am not able to find the username and password to log into admin section. But anyhow its a great article which has helped me a lot Thanks Posted By : Neeraj Posted On : 7/9/2007

Re: Re User Name and Password to log in Admin section Just open ASPNETDB.mdf file in server explorer to see user details. For admin they are uid=admin and pwd=pass$word Posted By : Bipin Joshi Posted On : 7/10/2007

Re Uid/Password Dear Bipin, I just tried using the same user name and password, But its not working!. Can you please let me know how to get the password (aspnet_membership table) from the ASPNETDB.mdf file as its in encrypted form. Also if you can tell me how this password is getting encrypted. And I have applied one CreateUserWizard (Built in) on Login Page, and when i create a new user, the details gets updated into aspnet_membership table. But when i try to log in the userid/password is not accepted.The error message is get is "Your login attempt was not successful. Please try again." Posted By : Neeraj Posted On : 7/11/2007

Re: Re Uid/Password Just add a new user using Web Site Admin Tool (Web Site menu) and assign admin role to the user. ASP.NET by default encrypts the passwords. YOu can change that in <membership> tag of web.config. For the second problem check if accidentally you have added any empty event handler for Login control.

Re Uid/ Password Dear Bipin, I am trying to log in with same user id and password you have given, But unfortunatly i am not able to login. Also I have created a new user through WebSite Administration Tool, But for him also i am not able to login. Please let me know if any specific settings that are to be done for newly created user or old user(ADMIN) Thanks! Thanks Posted By : Neeraj Posted On : 7/13/2007

Re Login Dear Bipin, I have just copy the code from the pdf files and runned it, even though i am not able to login. Just let me know how can i go into admin section. I am not sure where i am wrong ? Posted By : Neeraj Posted On : 7/13/2007

Re: Re Uid/ Password There is no specific setting to be done in the code as such. Posted By : Bipin Joshi Posted On : 7/16/2007

Great App Fantastic little application. Runs perfectly out of the box. Excellent documentation. If you can't get this working, it's most likely something as simple as a typo--check the spelling of your password--pass$word not password. Posted By : Jshin Posted On : 8/28/2007

Very Nice! My compliments. Program works great and the pdf files explain everything in detail. Great job ! Posted By : Shean Posted On : 8/30/2007

skip pattern Hi Bipin...great application! I wanted to know is it possible to add skip pattern to current database design? Any help will be appreciated. thanks. ks Posted By : KS Posted On : 9/5/2007

Connection String Change Hi Bipin, Your program works perfectly out of the box on my local pc, but I would like to change it so that databases are housed on a server. Could you post the steps necessary to make this happen? I am stuck on the connection string as I get an "invalid path" error. Thanks much for your effort. This is an excellent product! Posted By : JC Posted On : 9/5/2007

Re: Connection String Change 1. Either attach the database supplied with the application to SQL Server 2005 or generate scripts to transfer schema and data 2. Change database connection string as follows: data source=<sql_server_name>;initial catalog=<db_name>;user id=<uid>;password=<pwd> Posted By : Bipin Joshi Posted On : 9/6/2007

Re: skip pattern That will be essentially conditional checking and rendering UI accordingly rather than database structure. Posted By : Bipin Joshi Posted On : 9/6/2007

Skip pattern Bipin, thanks for the reply. I am designing a survey application, where next question is populated based on answer selected from the previous question. I don't know how i can design my UI? Do I have to present one question at a time or is there any way I can populate questions at run time. My question choices could be sing1e, multiple choice or text. Thanks. I really appreciate your responses. Posted By : KS Posted On : 9/6/2007
