hi friends,

I am bit new in asp.net.

I would really appreciate your help.

"I have to give maximum invalid password attempts as "5" . I am using Asp.net conifiguration for creating users."

So in my Web.config file i wrote the following code

<membership defaultProvider="abcProvider">
            <providers>
                <add  connectionStringName="connectionstring" applicationName="/abc" MaxInvalidPasswordAttempts="3" PasswordAttemptWindow="30"   name="testMembershipProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider"/>
            </providers>
        </membership>

now the thing is from the time i have added this  "MaxInvalidPasswordAttempts="3" PasswordAttemptWindow="30"  in web.config file... my project is not running. if i remove this then its working fine...

please help me out

You need to use passwordAttemptWindow and maxInvalidPasswordAttempts instead of  MaxInvalidPasswordAttempts and PasswordAttemptWindow.

Note: Attribute names are sensitive in web.config!
