I am a student working in a co-op position. My project is to add a login page to an existing site (made using FrontPage, I believe) and I am using ASP.NET in vs2010 (VB). I would like to NOT use the login control/membership tools in ASP.NET. I was hoping to make my own login and use session variables to keep track of the users and determine their role off of a field in a table located in the database that currently exists for the site.
Like I said, I am still a student and haven’t had a lot of web application experience. I’m not asking for someone to do this for me. I have spent a few days looking over the asp site, the msdn site, and several others but I just can’t understand it yet.
Can anyone recommend some really thorough and easy to understand tutorials on session variables and communicating with remote sql databases with ASP.NET?
thanks
please take a look at this site, Mike does a really good job at explaining a real simple login and redirect with the Session. I used it to help a friend some time ago and it went real good.
Good luck!
