Managing access to your Web site is important but the membership framework in ASP.NET 2.0
goes beyond that. Even if you don't intend to limit access to your site, the membership
framework lets you easily track your user's preferences without forcing your users to log
on. If your users do have to logon to your The ASP.NET 2.0 Login controls handle logging
on your users, letting your users change passwords, and remembering returning users. However,
the login controls also support tailoring your site's output for logged on and anonymous
users and by the user's role. This session will show you how to implement all of these features
and how to integrate the ASP.NET user database with your existing databases.
