How do you use the Web Site Administration Tool if you are using a SQL Server database (instead of express) and don't use the App_Data folder.  ASP.Net Configuration isn't even listed as an option under Website for me (unless I'm working on something else stored on my hard drive.) My hosting provider doesn't support SQLExpress.

Thanks Beth Centeno for you feedback.  

WSAT is for use in VS only and uses Cassini (the local VS web server) for its functionality. It doesn't provide remote administration.  

The workaround can be to use (if the hoster has it setup) use the delegated administration capability in the IIS7 admin tool.  Or to modify the web.config using a local web and then copy it to the remote machine.
