Remarks

The Membership class membership provider specified in the MembershipProvider property can support a question and answer for retrieving or resetting the user's password. The InvalidAnswerErrorMessage property is displayed when the answer entered by the user does not meet the requirements for the answer set by the membership provider. The actual requirements for the answer are determined by the membership provider, and might be different for different providers.

The value of this property, when set, can be saved automatically to a resource file by using a designer tool. For more information, see LocalizableAttribute and Globalization and Localization.
