Question

how can i authenticate an html control in a .aspx page.

For eg. I have two labels :: lblusername and lblpassowrd, two textboxes to fetch the values from the user and a submit button.
I want all these controls to be of html controls not the asp.net server side controls, authenticate whether the password already exists, check for password string to be ok and on submit give user the home page.
any code help for this.
would also expect some discussion on the events fired, effect on the asp.net page life cycle and some insight about the performance.

Answer 1

Once the HTML controls have the runat=”server” attribute, you just use the normal ASP.NET way of authenticating and authorizing.
