Hi! Can anyone help?

I am just to begin is the Silverlight world, so it would be helpful to me if you explain me more details and simple.

Now I am running

- Visual Studio 2008 Pro with Silverlight 2 Beta 2 installed ( SDK + Runtime)

- Expression Blend 2.5 June Preview

- ASP.NET 3.5  ( VB.NET )

and I have build a websit that has the Log in page using asp.net login control.

Now I want to have the silverlight login interface instead of asp.net control,.and working as same as in my asp.net login control.

The eaiest to say is:

ASP.NET Control

-The username ; username textbox, password, password textbox, login button, reset button, forgot password button

will be replace by

- Silverlight 2 Beta 2

Could anyone help please!!!!

Thanks

Accessing the ASP.NET Authentication, Profile and Role Service in Silverlight

Thanks for this links, but I already tried it, it doesn't work properly.

ans I need more simple way to do it.

Thanks again.

If you want to Silverlight interface just build a Silverlight login UserControl with all the fields you need. When user click the login button you need to send the data (loing/password) back to Server through a Web Service call to do the validation then wait the result back to do what ever you want to do accordingly.

The validation logic should be the same no matter if you choose to use HTML form control(asp.net control), AJax or Silverlight control. The only difference between using Form controls and Silverlight is with form control you usually submit the form. With Silverlight (or Ajax), you gether all the data then just send the data back through WebService call.

Hi! This is really helpful. but as I said in the beginning i am really new to the programing world, so could you mind to write me the tutorial more details ablut your tip above?

 Hi,

If you are totally new to programming and silverlight, you need to go through some tutorials first before you start to write this login control:

Login control is a simple control. Here is what knowledge you need:

1) Build a UserControl in Silverlight with layout control like Grid/StackPanel etc and silverlight build-in control like TextBox and Button.

Currently there is no built-in password control, but for beginner you can just first use a Textbox as password control until you know how to write a custom control. There are some code for password control in this forum you can use. But that's not the most important thing for now.

2) Write WCF Service and have Silverlight consum the WCF service.

3) I assume you know how to write login validation logic

Here is a sample project I created:
