aspnetaccesprovider

[the butler]

I don't know if I am just missing something but .....

I am trying to set up a web application using visual studio 2005 beta 2, I want to use MS Access as my database as the security database, I cannot find the aspNetAccessProvider! Is no longer available in beta 2 or do I need to do some configuration to make it available. All I can find is the aspNetSQLProvider, I do not want to use this as I do not have SQL on my hosting package.

Any help will be appreciated

I think this page may (?) help:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/83y98ckk(en-us,vs.80).aspx

It states:
"To configure the providers themselves, or to add a new one, you can use the aspnet_regiis command-line utility."

Hope that helps. I'll be working on this too soon - but I'm just getting started with all the "fun".

Cheers,

AccessDataProvider is no longer supported in the latest version of the beta.

The source code is posted some where in the Asp.net forum but there is not official support.
