If it doesn’t work with ASP, then what is the alternative solution?

ASP.NET production deployment happens over IIS (web server from MS) – IIS has its own authorization mechanism. See this link for translating htaccess into equivalent IIS configuration: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/557/translate-htaccess-content-to-iis-webconfig/
Alternately, you can also use commercial products such as Helicon Ape that provides IIS Add-on that will support Apache .htacces and .htpasswd files.
