Summary

Hopefully this walks-through a fairly common real-world web app scenario and explains how it can be easily done in ASP.NET 2.0. The ASP.NET 2.0 Membership, Role and Profile system (especially when combined with the new login controls) pack a lot of productivity power.

What is really nice is that they are all built on the new ASP.NET 2.0 provider model. Our of the box ASP.NET ships built-in providers that provide Membership, Roles and Profile storage inside SQL Express, SQL Server and Active Directory stores (the later for Membership and Roles only). What is even better is that you can replace any of these implementations using a custom provider that you either buy or build yourself (see this blog post for more details on how to-do this). Replacing a provider in ASP.NET 2.0 simply involves changing a value in a web.config file – the above code sample will work regardless of what provider was plugged in (LDAP, Oracle, DB2, Custom SQL Table Schema, File-System, etc).

Hope this helps,

Scott
