Examples

The following code example shows how to use the SqlServices class.

using System;
using System.Web.Management;

namespace UsingSQLServices
{
    class UsingSqlServices
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            try
            {
// Values to use.
string server = "ASPFeatureServer";
string database = "ASPFeatureDB";
string connectionString =
    "server=ASPFeatureServer, pooling=False, user=<user name>, password=<secure password>";
string user = "AspAdmin";
string password = "Secure Password"; // Use a sicure password.

// Install membership and personalization.
SqlServices.Install(database,
    SqlFeatures.Membership &
    SqlFeatures.Personalization,
    connectionString);

// Remove membership and personalization.
SqlServices.Uninstall(database,
    SqlFeatures.Membership &
    SqlFeatures.Personalization,
    connectionString);

// Install all features.
SqlServices.Install(server, database,
    SqlFeatures.All);

// Remove all features.
SqlServices.Uninstall(server, database,
    SqlFeatures.All);

// Install a custom session state database.
SqlServices.InstallSessionState(database,
    SessionStateType.Custom,
    connectionString);

// Remove a custom session state database.
SqlServices.UninstallSessionState(database,
    SessionStateType.Custom,
    connectionString);

// Install temporary session state.
SqlServices.InstallSessionState(server, null,
    SessionStateType.Temporary);

// Remove temporary session state.
SqlServices.UninstallSessionState(server, null,
    SessionStateType.Temporary);

// Install persisted session state.
SqlServices.InstallSessionState(server, user, password,
    null, SessionStateType.Persisted);

// Remove persisted session state.
SqlServices.UninstallSessionState(server, user, password,
    null, SessionStateType.Persisted);
            }
            catch (SqlExecutionException sqlExecutionException)
            {
Console.WriteLine(
    "An SQL execution exception occurred.");
Console.WriteLine();
Console.WriteLine("  Message: {0}",
    sqlExecutionException.Message);

Remarks

You can use SQL Server databases to store information for ASP.NET features such as session state, membership, Web parts personalization, and role management. These features require that the SQL Server database to which they are connected be properly configured before use. You can use the ASP.NET Register SQL tool (aspnet_regsql.exe) to do this, or you can call the static methods exposed by the SqlServices class directly from your code.
