Despite finding several references to this problem on the web, I have been unable to find a solution.
I have a custom MembershipProvider called ConfigMembershipProvider in the Config.Web.Areas.Accounts.Providers namespace. The assembly name is Config.Web.
My web.config looks like this:
<membership defaultProvider="ConfigMembershipProvider">
<providers>
<clear/>
<add name="ConfigMembershipProvider"
type="Config.Web.Areas.Accounts.Providers.ConfigMembershipProvider,
Config.Web"
applicationName="Configurator"
connectionStringName="Test_User_and_RolesConnectionString"/>
</providers>
</membership>
The error message I am getting is Parser Error Message: Default Membership Provider could not be found.
I cannot figure out why it cannot find the default membership provider... any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Scott.
Looks okay .
Not sure but looking at syntax -
try removing *Config.Web"*
type="Config.Web.Areas.Accounts.Providers.ConfigMembershipProvider,
Config.Web"
Is this the root web.config? Could a web.config in a lower directory be clearing the membership provider?
Not sure what happened, but I created another Membership Provider & literally copy/pasted the contents from each method in the original to the new one, changed web.config file to reflect the new name and everything works.
Crazy, but true.

I have 3 different project having their respective EF entity data model pointing to same database.I don't want to save connection string in each of these project's app.config file but want to share it between my models.
I see this link on stackoverflow How to share a connection string between multiple entity data model.
But the problem with it is if I will update the EF model it will overwrite the code in EF Model's context and it will inherit from DbContext not from BaseContext.
Please help how can I resolve this.
You have to move your connection string in a separate config file:
ConnectionStrings.config
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<connectionStrings>
<add name="connectionString"
connectionString="Integrated Security=SSPI; Persist Security Info=False; Initial Catalog=DbName; Data Source=.\SQLExpress;"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
Modify the connection string so that fit your requirement.
Then you can share it with all your projects like that:
1) Open your App.config (This file found in your project)
2) Add this line code somewhere behind </configSections>
...
<connectionStrings configSource="ConnectionStrings.config"/>
...
The trick in configSource:
"Gets or sets the name of the include file in which the associated configuration section is defined, if such a file exists."
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.configuration.sectioninformation.configsource(v=vs.110).aspx
What will happened:
ConnectionStrings.config must be first copied
All YourApplicationName.config will reference the shared connection string config file.
If the project does not have any App.config then just add it! or you can also loaded manually with ConfigurationSettings.
This is the best way to share the database configuration between the app.configs and when you change for example the Sql Server name, then you have only to modify the ConnectionStrings.config and not all App.configs!
It resolved as connection string always picked from MVC project and all other class library projects are referencing it automatically.
I've created a MVC 4 project which uses EF5 Code First with migrations.
Because I was new to this topic I used the following article.
Now that the development is finished I want to publish to IIS (I use FTP or Web deployment package). So before publishing I changed the connectionstring to the right db server.
But after publishing the site I get an exception when accessing pages which make use of the DB. The exceptions refers to the fact that he can't connect to the database.
Because of these problems I decided to try it out locally on another DB server than the default one "(LocalDB)\v11.0". BTW: "(LocalDB)\v11.0" works like a charm...
While debugging I got a better look at the error.
Here is an image of the error:
What I've already tried:
Generate a sql script by executing "Update-Database -Script
-SourceMigration:$InitialDatabase" in the Package manager console. After I ran this script on the dbserver to create the db. Tables were
created but the error was still there.
I changed my connectionstring to all kinds of combination with no
results
I already used a custom user for the app pool in ISS and gave this user full rights to the DB server and the db.
Here is the most important part of my web.config:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="DefaultConnection" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" connectionString="Data Source=LOCALHOST\MSSQLSERVER;Initial Catalog=ProjectX;Integrated Security=TRUE;MultipleActiveResultSets=True" />
</connectionStrings>
And
<entityFramework>
<defaultConnectionFactory type="System.Data.Entity.Infrastructure.SqlConnectionFactory, EntityFramework">
<parameters>
<parameter value="Data Source=LOCALHOST\MSSQLSERVER; Integrated Security=True; MultipleActiveResultSets=True" />
</parameters>
</defaultConnectionFactory>
</entityFramework>
My DBCcontext class constructor looks like
public DBContext(): base("DefaultConnection")
{
}
I guess I am missing something, this is the first time I use EF Code First with migrations.
This problem is really driving me crazy. I am out of ideas.
Just found out that the problem was caused by the connectionstring.
The string was incorrect, seems like you if you have a default SQL Server you just need to use
"Data Source=LOCALHOST".
I guess because of all the problems I had that day with the deployment i overlooked the easy parts. Yust make sure you the following things are true when you have problems like I did:
Your connectionstring has the same name as your DBContext. Another sollution could be to do like i did and add the connectionstring name to the base:
public DBContext(): base("DefaultConnection")
{
}
If you also have the defaultconnectionfactory set. Make sure to also update the Data Source there. This was one of the problems I struggled with. I didn't check the bottom of my web.config ...
If the problem still persists you can use EF profiler to have a look at the connectionstring when your app of site is accessing the DB.
I am programming with EF5-code first and want to use LocalDb. How can I change the default location of LocalDb database file? Default location is %USERPROFILE% directory according to http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlexpress/archive/2011/10/28/localdb-where-is-my-database.aspx
Previously I was using SqlCe DbConnectionFactory which accepts a parameter for database path/name. If I use AttachDbFileName parameter then it raises an exception if database doesn't exist (it's supposed to create it!).
I got this working thanks to this post. The answer is simple. Basically I added
<connectionStrings>
<add name="DataModel.Context" connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDb)\v11.0;Initial Catalog=database;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|\database.mdf" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
to the configuration section of app.config and it magically replaced the "database" with my actuall database (DbContext) name. EF code first also works perfectly to create the database if it doesn't exist.
I have a EF connection string in an MVC project like so:
connectionString="metadata=res:///Models.db.csdl|res:///Models.db.ssdl|res://*/Models.db.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string="Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=SystemName;Integrated Security=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True"" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient"
All is well until I added a second project and referenced the MVC project that contains the edmx, but during runtime I get:
The specified metadata path is not valid. A valid path must be either an existing directory, an existing file with extension '.csdl', '.ssdl', or '.msl', or a URI that identifies an embedded resource.
I've read post after post, but I can't figure out how to correctly reference the metadata in the MVC project. Can someone point me in the correct direction? I don't want to create a connection string that is so specific it breaks during deployment and debug.
The format for resources is:
Metadata=res://<assemblyFullName>/<resourceName>.
The lazy way is to use a wild card res://*/bah.msl. Which would load the model/mapping files from the bin directory, calling assembly, as well as referenced assemblies.
In your case:
res:///Models.db.csdl|res:///Models.db.ssdl|res://*/Models.db.msl
Is incorrect, try:
res://*/Models.db.csdl|res://*/Models.db.ssdl|res://*/Models.db.msl
Complete string:
connectionString="metadata=res://*/Models.db.csdl|res://*/Models.db.ssdl|res://*/Models.db.msl;provider=System.Data.SqlClient;provider connection string='Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=SystemName;Integrated Security=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True'" providerName="System.Data.EntityClient"
Alternatively you could use absolute references which is faster(but I am assuming this will be much more painful for you):
Metadata=res://<DLL>, <Version>, neutral, <SN>/Models.db.csdl|Models.db.ssdl|Models.db.msl
I modified my web.config to add a custom binding in order to increase the buffer and message size, and it seems like in creating the service element explicitly, it has somehow broken the reference to my behavior element.
When I try to run my web service from VS using the WCF Test Client, or I go to the service page, I get the error:
Metadata publishing for this service is currently disabled.
I've compared my web.config to a few different sources on this and everything seems to match. I've no idea what the issue is.
Here is the System.serviceModel element:
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name="BIMIntegrationWS.BIMIntegrationService" behaviorConfiguration="metadataBehavior">
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
<endpoint address="http://localhost:1895/BIMIntegrationService.svc"
binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="customBinding0"
contract="BIMIntegrationWS.IBIMIntegrationService"/>
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="metadataBehavior">
<!-- To avoid disclosing metadata information, set the value below to false and remove the metadata endpoint above before deployment -->
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
<!-- To receive exception details in faults for debugging purposes, set the value below to true. Set to false before deployment to avoid disclosing exception information -->
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<bindings>
<customBinding>
<binding name="customBinding0">
<binaryMessageEncoding />
<httpTransport maxReceivedMessageSize="262064"
maxBufferSize="262064"
maxBufferPoolSize="262064" />
</binding>
</customBinding>
</bindings>
<serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true"/>
It almost seems like either the web service page is not finding the element. I don't get an error complaining that the target behaviorConfiguration doesn't exist, or anything like that, just that Metadata publishing is not enabled.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
I think i've "fixed" the issue. More coming later.
EDIT:
In order to "fix" my issue, I basically added a new WCF service to my application, and had it implement my previous interface, I then copied all the code from my original service and when I tweaked the .config file (to look pretty much like the one posted in the question), everything worked fine.
Ofcourse, I know, like we all know, that there is no magic here, that there must be some discrepancy. This is when I noticed/remembered, that after I had created my original service, called "BIMIntegrationService.svc", I had decided that this was too long of a name, so I renamed/refactored my class to "BIMIntegrationWS". Doing this, however, does not change the name of the service file (and therefore the name of the file in the http:// address).
Long story short, I made 2 changes to my .config and everything worked:
1) I changed:
<service name="BIMIntegrationWS.BIMIntegrationService" behaviorConfiguration="metadataBehavior">
to
<service name="BIMIntegrationWS.BIMIntegrationWS" behaviorConfiguration="metadataBehavior">
After running the service like this, I got an error (a helpful one this time) complaining that if multipleSiteBindings was enabled, the endpoint address had to be relative. So:
2) I set that to false (because I don't remember why it was in there in the first place) and everything worked fine.
I guess I should have taken a hint when it seemed like my web service was not using my "service" element at all. :\
EDIT 2:
Actually, you can see in my second comment, in the original question, that the auto-generated tag was pointing to: , as opposed to "BIMIntegrationService".
That should have given it away.
I doubt many other people will have this same issue, but just in case.
I've had the same trouble; I've gotten everything configured correctly (even copied the code from a previous service I have running) and yet no change on allowing the service to expose metadata. yet, if I make a spelling error, parse error, etc. to the app.config I'm given exceptions telling me to correct the problem (which tells me the service is reading the config, just disregarding it.
I was able to bypass it by generating the config settings in the host application:
System.ServiceModel.Description.ServiceMetadataBehavior smb = new System.ServiceModel.Description.ServiceMetadataBehavior();
smb.HttpGetEnabled = true;
ServiceBase host = new Servicebase(typeof(MyService), new Uri("http://localhost:1234/"));
host.Description.Behaviors.Add(smb);
host.Open();
...
host.Close();
Basically allow the code to override and push the config file changes i wanted applied. I know it's not ideal, but I was exposing the service through a windows service which made this do-able. if you do get your problem resolved, please pass along the solution though as I'd be curious to know why (at least in yours, if not both our cases) it's failing.
