ASP.NET membership is designed to enable you to easily use a number of different membership providers for your ASP.NET applications. In ASP.NET 2.0 with Visual Studio (VS) 2005, Using the provider model, developers can easily extend the capabilities provided by the ASP.NET 2.0 runtime, in many different ways, you can program custom authenticated pages quickly with the Membership Login controls provided. The login control doesn't care if the membership provider is a custom provider or a Microsoft provider. The login control knows which provider to instantiate based on entries in the web.config file.

Third party providers have been created so that developers need not be concerned with the details of data storage and retrieval and can use MySql[^], ODBC[^] or even the good old web.config[^] to store the role/membership data, that is not supported by the membership providers included with the .NET Framework, such as a FoxPro database, an Oracle database, or other data sources. In Visual Studio 2005 (beta 2 as at this writing), ASP.NET 2.0 ships with one default membership provider—SQL Express Membership Provider.

First of all you need to create DataBase schema for membership. For this create a DataBase in sql server with any name you want.You need to manage membership information using a database schema with these requirements in mind we need to make sure that we design our provider to allow the developer to control which provider to use when the request reaches the web service that is different from the database schema used by the providers that ship with the .NET Framework.
