How do I get DotNetOpenAuth to open a popup window for authentication?

Question

Hi,

I am relatively new to web development, so perhaps this is a rookie question. I am trying to set up an ASP.NET MVC web site to implement DotNetOpenAuth as an OpenID relying party.

Right now it is all functioning, so that is pretty exciting. My goal though was to have the OpenID authentication take place it a popup window. This seems to be the default behavior when you using WebForms with the DNOA custom controls, but I haven't been able to figure it out in MVC.

I thought I was getting close with this:

var request = OpenIdRp.CreateRequest(id);
request.AddExtension(new UIRequest(Mode = UIModes.Popup));

But the Mode field of the UIRequest is read-only.

Does anybody know how to create a request that tells the OpenID provider to open a popup window?

Thanks for any help. So far I have been unable to track down any samples of this in action.

The Nerddinner site has exactly what you need. It's written in MVC, and you can download the source code here: http://nerddinner.codeplex.com/ .
