Hi All, I have a simple <asp:LoginView> control on my Login.aspx page (see below) and web.config with membership configured (see further below). The issue I'm struggling with is that LoginView control stays unchaged after apparently successful login. (i.e. FailureText is blank and all fields are clear). What am I missing here? Anyone, please advise! Regards, Sascha.
