    Of course it's not consistent

    I guess everyone else just makes different mistakes than me, huh?

    My contribution today to the Google Q&A machine is.. what to do about this exception..

    Could not load type 'System.Web.Security.SqlProfileProvider'

    The answer is to stop being so lazy and copy+pasting code all over the shop. Yes, you just proved you did it, no need to argue. You copied the <membership> or <roleManager> section in your web.config and renamed it <profile>.

    Well d*ckhead, you assumed too much! SqlProfileProvider is in a different namespace than SqlMembershipProvider and SqlRoleProvider. Hah! Fancy falling for THAT one.

    You need type="System.Web.Profile.SqlProfileProvider"

    nice! =) however, this time I copied it from a functional and existing 2.0 application. I received this error when posting the framework 2.0 copied code into 3.5. So yea, i suppose im still a d*ckhead for copying and pasting ;)
