Hello

I need a basic guide to help me to:

1) Set up a MySQL database (something I have never used before)

2) Integrate that  to use with my ASP.NET login control and preferably utilising the ASP.NET configuration tool in visual web developer.

I can find lots of books on MySQL and PHP but nothing on this.  Has someone written one? or please can someone write one quick?! -:)

My host does not support .MDF files otherwise I would have stuck with that.  Please don't point me to the code source site - I just don't get it, sorry.

Thanks a mil,

Jannie

You'll have to create the custom MySQL database, and then override the ASPNET default membership provider with your own business logic to use your DB. Here's a Wiki article I wrote on that.

Hope it helps, and let me know if you have any questions.
