I need to write a forum application for a friend’s web site. I want to write it in C# 3.0 against the ASP.NET MVC framework, with SQL Server database.

So, I’ve two questions:

  • Should I use Linq to SQL or the Entity Framework as a database abstraction?
  • Should I use the ASP.NET Membership API or add Users table and implement it myself?

Thanks.

    1. There are lots of examples around internet which is using ling with ASP.NET MVC. But may be you can add your list NHibernate. If you do not want to add i suggest Entity Framework. Using ORM’s is a plus.
    2. I always chose write my own membership management layer. If you are a person like (write your own code and be happy when you are making changes in future.) write your own membership layer. If you are looking for a quick solution ASP.NET Membership API is a good choice.
