title: Is connection string name LocalSqlServer mandatory?
body: <p>How do i configure connection string for Asp.Net Membership Provider? Do i have to write it by hand or any tool is available in Visual Studio where i can specify connection string as well as algorithm used to store password?</p>
  
  <p>I read one article and it specifies this connection string :-</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;configuration&gt;
  
  
  
      &lt;connectionStrings&gt;
  
          &lt;remove name=”LocalSqlServer”/&gt;
  
          &lt;add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=appservicesdb;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/&gt;
  
      &lt;/connectionStrings&gt;
  
  
  
  &lt;/configuration&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This <code>LocalSqlServer</code> name doesn't sound too intuitive. How do i change this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance :)</p>
