ASP.NET Configuration menu item missing

I responded to a user recently on a forum regarding a missing menu item in Visual Studio 2005. The user wanted to create an administrator account using the ASP.NET Configuration tool available through the Website menu. However, the tool was not there. The person was accessing the website directly through ftp in Visual Studio.

What I found is that if you load up a website in VS or VWD using ftp, the ASP.NET Configuration tool is not present on the menu. This is because the tool can only be used on the local system; it can't be used over the web.

If you're trying to manage users over the web, check out my web-based user management sample from my downloads section.

ASP.NET controls have been modified in the .NET Framework version 4 in order to let you specify more precisely how they render markup. In previous versions of the .NET Framework, some controls emitted markup that you had no way to disable. By default, ASP.NET 4 this type of markup is no longer generated.
