Login Control Isn't Working

I have an account at Discount ASP.NET. The basic account; no upgrades.

When I uploaded my files to the server, and when I try to login to my Login control, I get the following error:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Are you trying to connect to a SQL Express DB?

 

It was the one that was automatically created for me when I went into the ASP.NET Configuration. I made a fake user and then started adding people with the CreateUserWizard control.

But yes, I do believe it's an Express DB.

 

For SQL Server DB's...Express can't be used here but...
If you add on a SQL Server 2005 to your account you can mount the DB.
The other optionswould beto port your code so it uses XML or Access.
Salute,
Mark

 

So I have to upgrade my account just to use the SQL DB that Visual Studio made for me?

 

To use SQL Server features you will need to add SQL Server to your account.
