• On the Website menu, click ASP.NET Configuration.' This menu option does not exist! I read somewhere else - don't remember exactly where now, this was many hours of messing about ago - that this method of creating a membership page is now obsolete, hence the menu option disappearing in VS2017 (and 2015 I think too) But I cannot find anywhere an up to date or alternative tutorial for creating a Log-in & Members only page:-( Please can anyone point me to a work-around for this step, or an alternate tutorial for what I am trying to achieve? (If it's relevant, I intend to use a SQL database for storing logins & passwords) Thanks John. Hi John, According to the docuemnt, it is apply to Visual Studio 2010 and previous version of Visual Studio.

When I tried to report this suggestion to the VS for Mac product team, I found some other community members already raise it up, please check this: and you can vote it and add your comments, a higher vote numbers can attract attention of VS for Mac Product Team, thank you for your understanding. Only some project types are available in VS for Mac now and you can try to use Xamarin Studio or Mono to make a winform app for mac OS. From the above release notes, I found Visual Studio for Mac can be installed side by side with Xamarin Studio which is described under the part “Side by Side Installation with Xamarin Studio”.

And as far as I know, there doesn't have ASP.NET Configuration tool from Visual Studio 2012 and later version of Visual Studio. If you want to configure Login and Memebers in ASP.NET, please do with following steps.

• Create an ASP.NET application with your Visual Studio 2017. • Choose Individual User Accounts authentication option when creating your ASP.NET project. • After project created, you will find there has an Account folder which contains all Login and Members managment pages. You need use them to manage the login information.

• Run the default application and on the right-up-coner you will find a Register link and a Login link. You could set login and members information with them. The login data store in (localdb) MSSQLLocalDB, which you could open it in SQL Server Object Explorer. And the database name is similar with aspnet-WebApplication1-3124.

Hi Weiwei, I developed an asp.net project using VS2010, which uses an Access database (including an ASPNetDB.mdb membership database).

When I developed the project, we were able to manage users using the ASP.Net Configuration tool in Visual Studio. My former company reached out to me, and asked me to help manage users. They are using the current version of VS, and as you know the ASP.Net Configuration tool is no longer available in VS.

So, my question for you is how can I setup the Individual User Accounts authentication option for a project that is already developed, and not being setup for the first time? Thank you in advance for your help!

This is a great example of how Microsoft complicate things. The original walkthrough of creating a login and membership tutorial was excellent. It did exactly what was needed. The problem is that I need a site where an admin user creates users rather than people register for accounts. Loading this template is one thing but being able to make use of it with no documentation is a nightmare.

There are just no good examples of this any longer. As for the ASP.NET Configuration, you can load it but it doesn't help. Best pubg emulator.

To do it: • Open a command prompt (NOT AS ADMINISTRATOR). • Type cd ' Program Files IIS Express' and press enter • Load your project in Visual Studio and in the solution explorer click on the project name to show the project properties. The one you're interested is the URL property. It will be something like • Copy the port number (52228) to the clipboard. Your port will be different. • In the command prompt window type isexpress.exe /path:C: Windows Microsoft.NET Framework v4.0.30319 ASP.NETWebAdminFiles /vpath:/ASP.NETWebAdminFiles /port:52228 /clr:4.0 /ntlm • Then open a browser and browse to • Replace with the full path, eg: C: Users username source repos myproject • It will load the ASP.NET configuration tool I must admit, I got that far, but I found it didn't help me much because it wouldn't connect to the database. I am tempted to install Visual Studio 2010 and create the project in that, then get it working, and then upgrade it to Visual Studio 2017.
