Question

I am making a web application with ASP.net MVC3. I eventually want to use roleprovider and authentication used by a login form. So I have this code:

Answer 1

realize this is old, but in case its viewed later, here's what I found is cause / resolution.

I had to do some MySQL work on my regular .NET web server (db and web servers on same machine) so I used the MySQL installer (http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/mysql-installer-for-windows.html). That little sucker seems to have gone and updated my .NET machine.config for me, how nice, so it's connector will work well with .NET. Stupid installer. Anyways when I went to go use a .NET / SQL Server app (no tie in to MySQL) I got the same error.

Easy enough fix (and your MySQL utilizing apps should still work just fine). Just comment out the MySQL reference(s) in the appropriate .NET framwework machine.config.

NOTE: the web page the error is on will tell you what machine.config file (and line number) is offending.
