Hi
This is my very first stab at asp.net so please be gentle!
I am trying to implement the forms-based authentication using VB.net as per the MS KB308157 and I am getting a compile error. I may well have pasted something in the wrong place but it looks kind of logical to me as a raw newbie.
The code (including all the MS puff which I have left in in case it helps later is
When I build I get an error saying that it expects end tag </system.web> on the line where I have </authentication>
It also seems to be unhappy with <Forms under the <authentication mode = "Forms" /> but I copied and pasted straight off the MS web site.
Can anyone point where I have got this bit wrong? I confess to not really having a grounding in HTML yet.
Thanks
