'Usage
You do not need to declare an instance of a static class in order to access its members.

You can use SQL Server databases to store information for ASP.NET features such as session state, membership, Web parts personalization, and role management. These features require that the SQL Server database to which they are connected be properly configured before use. You can use the ASP.NET Register SQL tool (aspnet_regsql.exe) to do this, or you can call the static methods exposed by the SqlServices class directly from your code.

NoteNote:

Using the aspnet_regsql.exe tool or the SqlServices class to configure the database only sets up the database that the providers will use with the proper tables, triggers, and stored procedures. Configuring the database in this way does not modify configuration files to specify that these features use the SQL Providers for these services.

The following code example shows how to use the SqlServices class.

Imports System
Imports System.Web.Management

Module UsingSqlServices
    Sub Main()
        Try 
' Values to use. 
Dim server As String = "ASPFeatureServer" 
Dim database As String = "ASPFeatureDB" 
Dim connectionString As String = _
    "server=ASPFeatureServer, pooling=False, user=<user name>, password=<secure password>" 
Dim user As String = "AspAdmin" 
Dim password As String = "Secure Password" 

' Install membership and personalization.
SqlServices.Install(database, _
    SqlFeatures.Membership And _
    SqlFeatures.Personalization, _
    connectionString)

' Remove membership and personalization.
SqlServices.Uninstall(database, _
    SqlFeatures.Membership And _
    SqlFeatures.Personalization, _
    connectionString)

' Install all features.
SqlServices.Install(server, database, _
    SqlFeatures.All)

' Remove all features.
SqlServices.Uninstall(server, database, _
    SqlFeatures.All)

' Install a custom session state database.
SqlServices.InstallSessionState(database, _
    SessionStateType.Custom, _
    connectionString)

' Remove a custom session state database.
SqlServices.UninstallSessionState(database, _
    SessionStateType.Custom, _
    connectionString)

' Install temporary session state.
SqlServices.InstallSessionState(server, Nothing, _
    SessionStateType.Temporary)

' Remove temporary session state.
SqlServices.UninstallSessionState(server, Nothing, _
    SessionStateType.Temporary)

' Install persisted session state.
SqlServices.InstallSessionState(server, user, password, _
    Nothing, SessionStateType.Persisted)

' Remove persisted session state.
SqlServices.UninstallSessionState(server, user, password, _
    Nothing, SessionStateType.Persisted)
        Catch sqlExecutionException As SqlExecutionException
Console.WriteLine( _
    "An SQL execution exception occurred.")
Console.WriteLine()
Console.WriteLine("  Message: {0}", _
    sqlExecutionException.Message)
Console.WriteLine("  Server: {0}", _
    sqlExecutionException.Server)
Console.WriteLine("  Database: {0}", _
    sqlExecutionException.Database)
Console.WriteLine("  Commands: {0}", _
    sqlExecutionException.Commands)
Console.WriteLine("  SqlFile: {0}", _
    sqlExecutionException.SqlFile)
Console.WriteLine("  Inner Exception: {0}", _
    sqlExecutionException.Exception)
        Catch ex As Exception
Console.WriteLine("An unknown exception occurred.")
Console.WriteLine()
Console.WriteLine("  Message: {0}", ex.Message)
