how to change the connection string when moving Aspnetdb to remote hosting?

Hi I am abit lost and this is something out of my knowledge.

I was developing a website on development server. I created a user authentication and access rules on my website. So VS created Aspnetdb. I also created a login page using in built login control. I deny all the anonymous users to the page so it will redirect to login page everytime.

Now that I moved aspnetdb and my website to the remote server to the new hosting I bought. I also merged few tables into aspnetdb. But I don't know how to change the connection string for that login control. I didn't write any code myself for that and there is no connection string in the web.config to connect to aspnetdb. For other pages where I created from scratch myself, I changed the connection strings to the aspnetdb and it works fine, but Login control don't.

Found this article and solved the problem. On local machine, the security is embedded into .mdf file i guess. So there is no connection string in webconfig. I guess it was in Asp.net 2 where i can find the change the connection string somewhere. Not sure. But for using only i have to write my own login method (LoginControl.Authenticate) which is pretty straight forward as well. Thanks all. Solved.
