The specified membership provider is not defined in the Web.config file.

The MembershipProvider property contains the name of the defined MembershipProvider class membership provider that is used to store the user information. You can store membership information for users in different data stores by changing the value of the MembershipProvider property. When the MembershipProvider property is set to Empty, the default membership provider defined in the Web.config file is used.

This property cannot be set by themes or style sheet themes. For more information, see ThemeableAttribute and ASP.NET Themes and Skins Overview.

The following code example requires membership providers defined in the <membership> section of the Web.config file. The following is a Web.config file that defines membership providers for each division in a small company. For this example, each membership provider points to a SQL Server database.
