I'm still at the same position. I debug a lot and realized that my app never tries to establish a connection with the DB server. (DB server, IIS and the app all are running on my local m/c). I suspect about the connection string first but whatever i put in the string doesn't matter. I stopped the DB services, same behavior. (When i click sign-in or register with some dummy values in username and password boxes, the app just refreshes the same page, do nothing else, no exception)
For the connection string, i have added some lines to web.config such as;
<connectionStrings>
<add name="ConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS; Initial Catalog=IssueTracker; User ID=USERID; password=PASSWORD;trusted_connection=false" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
and
<appSettings>
<add key="ConnectionString" value="Data Source=SIM-CUNVER\SQLEXPRESS,56758;Initial Catalog=IssueTracker;User ID=UID;password=PASSWORD"/>
...
I think there are some format changes between .net1.1 and .net2.0, that's why i exchange "Server" with "Data Source" and "database" with "Initial Catalog" etc. there are also two connection strings defined in the web.config file. I have tried all the possibilities, defining each of them separately or both of them at the same time (both the "key" and the "name"), but no luck.
I have no clues left, nothing left to try. I think i'm giving up with the issuetracker.
Thanks
