The Asp.Net membership provider has some clear uses in a web app. I am thinking about trying to leverage some of the features in a windows application (more specifically WPF). Does anyone know if it is possible to use the core features in a windows app? I am mostly just looking for it to create my database tables, and maintain users, ...
Hi. I changed over from the in process membership provider to the sql membership provider to stop people losing their sessions when the website process recycled, but sessions still seem to time out.

I would like to build a ‘User’ Object model for a somewhat typical web application…however I cannot decide how best to design the object model & role system.

Is it possible to get the source and code behind of the control so I can manipulate it myself? That way I can keep using the Membership and have the ease of functionality, but can use my own controls. I'm sure there is an easy solution to this. Thanks. ...
In testing, the user on a db i've used was a big jefe. in production, he only has Execute. When i called Membership.DeleteUser(user) in testing, it worked.

I'm looking at moving my application from using active directory membership provider to using sql server provider. The main hiccup we are looking at is no being able to retrieve the user passwords from AD. Does anybody have any ideas? Anybody think I should just leave AD alone? ...

I want people to come to my website and be able to associate...

I currently have a site where different users can login, and depending on their sub domain, are presented with different data from different databases. I am overriding the SqlMembershipProvider to use a "temp" connection string, that I dynamically set during the Initialize Method, per this post's instructions: http://forums.asp.net/p/9...
