disable forms authentication using Microsoft.Web.Administration

Question

Anyone has a clue how to turn off forms authentication using Microsoft.Web.Administration and C#?

Not sure with Microsoft.Web.Administration but you can do it command line and run it with Process.Start: appcmd set config /commit:WEBROOT /section:system.web/authentication /mode:Windows — PCurd

I don't need to turn on windows auth, I need to turn off forms auth. — Bogdan Verbenets

true, but it has the same side effect :) I hope someone can give you a proper answer. — PCurd

@PCurd, when I turn on windows auth, then the forms auth still stays turned on. — Bogdan Verbenets
