Hiya,

I am trying to use the ASP.NET membership database on a WPF application as I want a local front end for a database as well as a front end online.

I have tried the example on this video: http://windowsclient.net/learn/video.aspx?v=293710

However, when I use the code as follows I get the following error:

System.NotSupportedException occurred
Message=Specified method is not supported.
Source=System.Web.Extensions

C#

Membership.CreateUser("gumby", "pokey");

This error also applies to getting roles and also logging users in.

Can anyone offer any advice as to how I can resolve this?

How can ASP.NET have anything to do with WPF? If you want WPF front-end to something, just do it, how it can possibly be related to ASP.NET.
What's the use of your exception information if you do not explain what you do? Does not seem to make any sense at all.

It is related to ASP.NET because I am using the ASP.NET Membership database. My question was, how do I go about using the ASP.NET Membership database's user functions with WPF? The exception information wasn't really included because I thought it was obvious from what I'd written that the exception was caused by Membership.CreateUser() and that it wasn't supported.

What I want to know is what can I do to get round this?

Please see my comment to the question: it is not clear what are you trying to do, and how ASP.NET and WPF application can be related. I have an impression that you are trying to do something totally wrong, but cannot be quite sure because of the very vague question.

If you have some working ASP.NET application you are trying to re-use with different front end, probably you should think about or creating an ASP.NET Web service you would consume by your WPF front-end application, or, better yet, to create a WCF service hosted by IIS and also consume it by your your WPF front-end.
