Are you by any chance running this on 64-bit windows? In that case, you would need to edit the machine.config under Framework64 directory.

Hello,

The above exception suggests that when requesting a page via IIS7,

membership provider?!

No it doesn't.  It suggests your template doesn't include the security question/answer input.  
Nothing to do with IIS at all.

Below is default membership provider ( defined in machine.config ), which is also used by my

 application. Notice that I've set requiresQuestionAndAnswer to false, and as such CreateUserWizard

 template isn't required to provide question and answer fields.

Also, if I run this app via Visual Studio ( which provides built-in web server ), then everything

works OK and no  exception is thrown. Only when I request a page via IIS7 is request thrown:

<membership>
    <providers>
	<add name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" 
             type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider, System.Web,Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" 
             connectionStringName="LocalSqlServer" 
             enablePassswordRetrieval="false" 
             requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" 
             applicationName="/" requiresUniqueEmail="false"

Does IIS7 use different default membership provider?

Say I create CreateUserWizard control and use AspNetSqlMembershipProvider ( defined in C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\machine.config ) as a default membership provider.

Assuming I change default provider's requiresQuestionAndAnswer attribute to false, then CreateUserWizard control template should not be required to provide Question and Answer fields.

But if I request the page via IIS7 I get the following exception:

CreateUserWizard1: CreateUserWizardStep.ContentTemplate does not contain an IEditableTextControl with ID Question for the security question, this is required if your membership provider requires a question and answer.

A) The above exception suggests that when requesting a page via IIS7, runtime doesn’t use AspNetSqlMembershipProvider (defined in machine.config) as a default membership provider?!

But as far as I know, IIS should use AspNetSqlMembershipProvider and thus shouldn’t throw an exception?!

thanx
