connection sql to membershipprovider

I just can not seem to get this up and gong.

Using Visual Studio Pro on net 3.5

ERROR: The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: The connection name 'FormsDemoConnectionString' was not found in the applications configuration or the connection string is empty. (M:\MyProjects\EFFA\EFFA\web.config line 29)

<appSettings>

makes sense, it's looking for the connection string in the connectionString configuration section, not the appSettings configuration section. I quick google search will provide the details.
