asp.net 3.5 password recovery control in an mvc app?

Question

Can I use the asp.net 3.5 Password Recovery control in an mvc application?

We need to provide password retrieval capability for our mvc app and I would like to use the password recovery control which only works with a web form app ...

Thanks for any help provided.

Answer 1

A lot of server controls from Webforms will not work on MVC as designed. Check out the MvcMembership starter kit.

Answer 2

Unlike Login and Logout, the Password Recovery feature does not come implemented in a brand new ASP.NET MVC project, however, adding this feature to an ASP.NET MVC project is actually pretty easy as the Membership class already has the core functionality built-in.

I've posted in my blog an explanation on how I did it:
