    <p>I have an ASP.NET 2010 app. When I go through the registraiton process, I correctly get logged in. However, if I just try to log in later, ValidateUser always returns false'</p> <pre class="lang-cs prettyprint-override"><code>blnSuccess = Membership.ValidateUser(strUserName, strPassword) </code></pre> <p>I've stepped through to ensure the correct username &amp; password are being sent in and that this person is in the db (Express). Here's my Web.Config....All just regular stuff. </p> <pre class="lang-xml prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;connectionStrings&gt; &lt;add name="ApplicationServices" connectionString="data source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|\aspnetdb.mdf;User Instance=true" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/&gt; &lt;/connectionStrings&gt; &lt;authentication mode="Forms"&gt; &lt;forms name=".ASPXAUTH" loginUrl="~/Account/Login.aspx" protection="All" timeout="2880" slidingExpiration="true" /&gt; &lt;/authentication&gt; &lt;membership&gt; &lt;providers&gt; &lt;clear/&gt; &lt;add name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" connectionStringName="ApplicationServices" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" requiresUniqueEmail="false" maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5" minRequiredPasswordLength="6" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" passwordAttemptWindow="10" applicationName="/"/&gt; &lt;/providers&gt; &lt;/membership&gt; </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
