Just a couple of thought on the RC1 & RC2 membership provider.
Before I go any further into this, I think the provider is well coded and is close to what I would like to see. You have done a really good job and the base is extremely stable once configured and you play by the rules. I prefer this implementation over the SQL version for many reasons, including speed and control of the code. 1. I have thoroughly tested the standard implementation of the membership and roll provider and like what I see in the implementation that are included. 2. I have not been able to get the membership provider 2 to work (the version that uses stored proc's), but honestly I haven not tried very hard yet. 3. Have not been able to wire up web parts to the profile provide, kind of got frustrated with this one and gave up. I will revisit it when I am not so busy. There are some things that I would like to see done for this provider. 1. I would like to see case insensitivity resolved (I think you addressed this in MembershipProvider2). 2. I would like to see regular expression being used to validate input such as email addresses, maybe you are doing this already?? 3. The SQL scripts are to say the least not very friendly yet. I had to chop them up to make the database. I ended up just sticking everything in one database, where you were once creating 2. This may be the difference in where you are running DDL scripts (I am using IB Expert). 3. I would like to see the documentation on how to configure the provider for the average mortal trying to do this stuff. 4. I WOULD LOVE TO HELP. 5. Did I mention I would LIKE TO HELP? Overall this project is incredible and I have been using the code for several years now. I think Carlos had done and excellent job in communicating his ideas to the community before changing the code base, which is important for not breaking existing functionality. I have been involved in writing software for many years now, and I have yet to see a more committed community anywhere. While the FB community is not the largest, it is run well (at least from the outside looking in). Although I am just a corporate coder (windows and web forms), with no mass market shipping software experience, I would still like to help as I believe in the process and product.
