Parameters
- connectionStringName

- userTableName
Type: System.String
The name of the database table that contains the user profile information.
- userIdColumn
Type: System.String
The name of the database column that contains user IDs. This column must be typed as an integer (int).
- userNameColumn
Type: System.String
The name of the database column that contains user names. This column is used to match user profile data to membership account data.
- autoCreateTables
Type: System.Boolean
true to indicate that user profile and membership tables should be created if they do not exist; false to indicate that tables should not be created automatically. Although the membership tables can be created automatically, the database itself must already exist.
