I may be overlooking a question like this, but I couldn’t find it. I have an asp.net site with C# codebehind, and I have a working means of creating user accounts, passwords, and associating other data with each user. I started this site by creating a web application, and the login/register functions were all included and work fine. I also have a database that the user can search and display data on the site (all of this also works). However, I want the user to be able to search the database for data, and then be able to go back to pages that they’ve saved as pages that they’re “following.” All I would need to store would be a unique identifier from the database to note that the person wanted to follow that page. Where would be the best place to store these values? Could I do so by saving the data in the aspnetdb database? If so, how would I write custom values in this database if using an asp.net web application?

If you’re using ASP.NET’s Membership feature, you’ll probably want to use the MembershipUser.ProviderKey as the unique ID mentioned by @dcreight. Use it to access your own table. I would not recommend writing into the aspnetdb directly.
