Best thing to do is to attach your application database using the attach tool and manually install the ASPNET DB schema. See http://kb.discountasp.net/article.aspx?id=10413 Bruce DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
Two applications can actually share the same aspnetdb in your case.Remember any mdf attached using the attach tool will overwrite your existing database schema. So first attach the other(other than aspnet db) mdf ,followed by manually installing aspnet db,which does not overwrite the former. Vikram DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
Sorry for the confusion.You dont need to have two seperate aspnetdb installed/created on your database.Follow the steps specified here(http://kb.discountasp.net/article.aspx?id=10413).The schema that will be created can be used by both your web applications/projects.Make sure you specify a different applicationname(within the web.config See: http://www.odetocode.com/Articles/428.aspx ) in both these projects Vikram DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
Ok so the aspnet db thats is presently working on my server that i created using the procedure u explain in artcle 10413.wont be affected when i upload the second aspnetdb. and i wont erase my first database by creating another schema using the the same article? Thanks
Well the aspnetdb you have should be fine for both your applicattions.You dont have to create another aspnetdb schma .Just make sure to specify the application name in the web.config of both your web applications.(i.e you can use the same schema both your web applications) See: http://www.odetocode.com/Articles/428.aspx so see how to set applicationName propety in your web.config Vikram DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
