Problem:
Using the ASP.NET Website Admin Tool and the Login Control
Resolution:
ASP.NET 2.0 provides a website admin tool that allows you to view and manage your websites configuration. The attached .zip file contains a WORD document (ASP.NET_Website_Config.doc), which has step by step instructions for using the Website Admin Tool to create and manage users, roles, and access permissions.
For more information on this tool take a look at the following link:

Also included in the .zip file is a demo website, Login, which uses the Login control that is new to ASP.NET 2.0. The demo also uses the HttpContext class to get the name of the user for the current HTTP request. For more information on this class take a look at the following link:
