I am writing a login routine that uses a .NET login control and I have a membership provider as well and set it all up in the config file. But I don't plan on using a connection string as I will be calling a web service in my ValidateUser function. Do I need the connection string in the config because it seems to throw an error if I don't have it.
In that case if you need it then wouldn't it be better to treat this membership provider class more as a normal class and just make calls to it directly like any class and not put any setting on my login control and remove the entry from my web.config
