[Mono-list] System.Web.Security.Membership causes an exception on mono platform

[Martin Thwaites]

Hi Olli,

I can't shed much light on the error itself, however, have you had any
asp.net site working on this installation?

Also, where was the site developed, VS, MD, Xs?

You say it happens on a fresh MVC site, what do you mean by fresh? A VS
template?

Also, have you tried disabling the Membership system altogether to see if
the error that's presented is masking something else?

I'll try to respond to further e-mails but I'm busy for the next few days.
Hopefully the answers to those questions will either get you to a solution
or enable somebody to help.

Thanks
Martin
