I think my understanding on SimpleMembershipProvider
is almost 60% and the rest is getting to know how it internally work.
You can quickly found some is
If you were to merge the InitializeSimpleMembershipAttribute
into the Global.asax.cs
Application_Start
so that the SimpleMembershipProvider
would be initialized without any AccountController
routes being called...
...it could look something like this: http://aaron-hoffman.blogspot.com/2013/02/aspnet-mvc-4-membership-users-passwords.html
