RE: security in windows app

Thank you.

That was very helpful. I have the basic functionality I need working.

Is there a simple way to pull the connection string out of the app.config
file?

If I wanted to change this value or the connection string in the config file
after the app has been deployed and setup run, where would I go to change
this?

Generally, is there a document that describes how .net handles windows apps?
It doesn't seem to make a simple .exe anymore.

Thanks.

Hello Gerhard,

For your VB.NET windows application, does it only need to authenticate the
user through the membership/role database used by ASP.NET web application?
For Login Cotnrol, currently winform controls haven't included built-in
ones (equivalent to the ASP.NET login control). However, you can use the
ASP.NET membership & role APIs in winform application(or other non-ASP.NET
application). You only need to put the same membership & role provider
cofiguration in your winform application's app.config file.

Here is a blog article in which I've described how to do this:

#Manage database of ASP.NET 2.0 Membership & Role services in non-ASP.NET
context

management-out-of-asp-net-context.aspx

Hope this helps some. If you have any further questions, please feel free
to let me know.

Sincerely,
