C# Programmatically create ASP.NET Membership Schema
Ok I found a much better way to accomplish this, I still use the MembershipExists()
function, but I install it with this statement, which I didn't know of up until a couple of minutes ago.
SqlServices.Install(database, SqlFeatures.All, connectionString);
Did it like this:
public static void Initialize()
{
var connection = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["membership"].ConnectionString);
if (!MembershipExists(connection))
{
// create schema
string regsql = Path.Combine(System.Runtime.InteropServices.RuntimeEnvironment.GetRuntimeDirectory(), "aspnet_regsql.exe");
string args = string.Format(@"-E -S {0} -A all -d {1}", connection.DataSource, connection.Database);
var proc = Process.Start(regsql, args);
if (proc != null)
proc.WaitForExit();
}
}
public static bool MembershipExists(SqlConnection connection)
{
try
{
connection.Open();
var query = new SqlCommand("select count(*) from sysobjects where name = 'aspnet_CheckSchemaVersion' and type = 'P'", connection);
return query.ExecuteScalar() as int? == 1;
}
finally
{
connection.Close();
}
}
Not sure how it'll behave on a production environment.
