How to Create a Login Page Using ASP.NET
The Microsoft .NET Framework provides a login control that simplifies creation of a login page. The login control is typically used in conjunction with either user authentication tables created using the "aspnet_regsql.exe" utility in Internet Information Services or through creation of a local database in the App_Data folder of the web site. This database must exist before a login page will work successfully. Once this authentication database has been created, the steps to create a login page are relatively easy to perform.
