Hi,
I currently have my account set to a live id account that's not my primary live id anymore.
Does anyone know how I could switch to anoter live id?
Thanks,
Erik

Try the ASP.NET Membership provider : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/yh26yfzy.aspx or http://odetocode.com/Articles/427.aspx.

It's great that it is availible now, but I find some of the rules a bit weird. They differ from the default behavior of the visual studio templates. For example the:
SA1200: All using directives must be placed inside of the namespace.
Is there any documentation availible on the why, just like there is with fxcop? -
That sounds like user documentation
Documentation of knowledge is very very usefull if you need to continue a project from someone else or start a new one, finish and modify it a year later. Good requirements is a must have. Questionable is if you are the one to create them or if the shop is large enough to have a person around to perform this tasks. I feel more and more that I need that knowledge on paper, because it now comes back as bugs and needs to get solved asap while I am working on something else. The only real problem is that documentation takes time upfront, while the problems from not having documentation is time afterwards and not visible.
Comments in code aren't always good, good comments in code are.
I've seen this extreme commenting pratice, which is not helpfull in any way. The code is full of stuff like this:
// Close the stream
writer.Close();
Next to the extra space it takes, and all the green lines in the code it is also not very good if you refactor a lot. If I use VS refactor/rename for example, it will not modify any comments. You will end up with comments saying this does X while it actually does Y.

Maby it is more clear if you just see the code. Here is my solution file: sample_membership_provider.zip (vs 2008 solution)
Let me know if there still is anything unclear after looking at the project.
Edit: updated project, forgot to add website. You probaly need to readd the website with the correct path, because it points to my f:\projects\test folder instead of the current folder. -
You should never need to call the custom membership provider directly. To let the provider pattern make sense you should only talk to your custom membership provider thrue the membership object.
By directly calling the custom membership provider object you are not able to switch membership providers in the membership web.config section.
Just to make sure you understand my last post, this is what that gives in aspx modified to your last code snipped. This will do the same as the code you have only than catch the exception and display it into the failuretext.<%

You can't catch the Exception the way you want it, with the default login control as far as I know.
What you can do is create a global.asax file and catch all exceptions (or check if the exception is a membershipprovider exception) and do something like:
<%
@ Application Language="C#" %><
script runat="server"> void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e) {
// Code that runs when an unhandled error occurs
Response.Redirect(http://www.google.com);
}
</script> -
public
class Login2 : System.Web.UI.WebControls.Login {protected override void OnAuthenticate (System.Web.UI.WebControls.AuthenticateEventArgs e) {
try {
base.OnAuthenticate(e);
} catch (Exception ex) {
HttpContext.Current.Response.Write("ex: " + ex.Message);
// or HttpContext.Response.Redirect("http://www.google.com");
}
}
}
this is the other option...
I hope any of these is what you are looking for, because I think I don't fully understand your needs. -
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
Page.Error += new EventHandler(Page_Error);
}void Page_Error(object sender, EventArgs e) {
Response.Redirect(http://www.google.com);
}
is the same as what happends in the global.asax only than on page level. Still it catches all the exceptions happening on the page. Using the global.asax is a perfect way for this if you ask me. You are able to display a generic help message and mail home or log the exception for every exception in the webapplication. Than you at least known that it happends for each page in your webapplication, instead of only the ones that you didn't forget to add the above.
An other option is to create your own implementation or inherit the asp.net login control and add the exception handling.
Don't forget, Exceptions are for exceptional problems. Not to control the flow.. -
How are you calling the membership validateuser? thru the asp:login control or just from the code behind?
try {
Membership.ValidateUser("erik", "test");
} catch (Exception ex) {}
should catch the exception thrown from validateuser
