working with MVC5 and trying to integrate AspNetSqlMembershipProvider than the default provider or simple membership provider.

Is that possible to use AspNetSqlMembershipProvider with MVC5? All login and register codes looks clumsy and I am not able to figure out what exactly UserManager. I did all necessary alterations in the web.config level, still my users are not validating with the SQL Database which we have created.

AspNetSqlMembershipProvider is deprecated.

ASP.NET Universal Providers is an updated version of ASP.Net Membership Provider.

Yes you can use ASP.NET Universal Providers in MVC5. If you have used ASP.Net Membership Provider in WebForm previously, they basically are same except you cannot get Async and Await.

You do not need to use UserManager which is used by ASP.net Identity.

  • MVC4 uses SimpleMembershipProvider so you'll still see Models and Views. **MVC3** uses ASP.NET Universal Providers which is basically same as AspNetSqlMembershipProvider. So you need to create Blank MVC5 Project, then copy those Membership codes from MVC3 to MVC5. – Win Jul 22 '14 at 17:04
