I am starting to build a new web application that will require user accounts. Now that I have an OpenID that I am using for this site I thought it would be cool if I could use OpenID for authentication in my application. Are there any good tutorials on how to integrate OpenID with an ASP.NET site?
See Scott Hanselman's post on using DotNetOpenID in ASP.NET. Andrew Arnott's blog is full of samples on using DotNetOpenID with ASP.NET, including ASP.NET MVC.
I recently hooked up DotNetOpenID for the Subtext 2.0 release. It went really smoothly - the code samples included with the DotNetOpenID download are pretty helpful. The one thing I'd recommend is that you just use the library and avoid the ASP.NET control. It uses table based layout (hardcoded) and is pretty difficult to restyle.
DotNetOpenId available at http://code.google.com/p/dotnetopenid
Are there any good tutorials on how to integrate OpenId with an ASP.NET site?
Andrew Arnott's post titled "How to add OpenID to your ASP.NET web site (in C# or VB.NET)"
I'm considering the same thing. On the Open ID site, there's a link 'For Developers' # http://openid.net/developers/ and from there is a link to 'Open Libraries' # http://wiki.openid.net/Libraries and finally from there is one called 'DotNetOpenID' # http://dotnetopenid.googlecode.com/ which is probably what you're looking for.
Good luck.
DotNetNuke may not be a good current example. When we did the integration, DotNetOpenID was not currently supporting OpenID 2.0 spec. I hacked together a fork to get the 2.0 support and have not had a chance to rip it back out for the official DotNetOpenID 2.0 release.
You should check out the DotNetNuke codebase as well, they have been using OpenID for the last several revisions, and you'll find working code for implementing it there.

I'm beginning with asp.net mvc and I'd like to learn to the best way for user registration and login whitch is used in real projects. Please, can anyone share good tutorial for beginner? Thanks
You can find a lot of tutorials if you google "ASP.NET Identity 2.X". Here is one I found ASP.NET Identity Tutorial
This should give you a foundation to build on if you need to do something more complex.
You can use Membership api for user creation and login, And it is widely used in real projects.

My website is in classic ASP. Want to implement openId relying party so using the DotNetOpenAuth.dll
Tried the asp.net WebForm and MVC sample. Both straight froward and works great.
After a bit of struggle i run the classic ASP Sample provided by DotNetOpenAuth.
With WebForms & MVC i tried test with google, google profiles, yahoo/flickr, wordpress, blogspot, myopenid, etc works well
When tried with classic asp Only google, profiles, yahoo/flickr works well. For others like myopenid, blogspot, & wordpess it says openid not found. but it work well with webforms & MVC.
My question is that, for calssic ASP Is there anything like it support only direct openid provider like yahoo/google or am i missing anything.
I am using the sample from dotnetopenauth. Nothing special.
Regards,
Pradeep.
There is some information in this thread that may be useful....
http://groups.google.com/group/dotnetopenid/browse_thread/thread/abcf1439d8b87c44/60b195b36b0207f4
Underneath it's the exact same engine powering OpenID for both classic ASP and ASP.NET. Aside from possible configuration differences, which I'm not aware of any. You may attach a managed debugger to the IIS process and download the DNOA source code matching your version to step through and find out what's going wrong.
Good day!
For PHP framework CodeIgniter exists 'app-framework' BackendPro:
What I mean by this is it provides you with functionality to do all the simple repetitive tasks like authentication, permissions and a basic look and feel for your websites control panel. So using your current PHP and CodeIgniter knowledge you can use BackendPro to built a fully working website quickly since you can concentrate on your application instead of the bits to manage the system.
It helps a lot with building quickly backend of the site (grids for entities, common CRUD interface, login\logout etc you know :)). In fact it is a stub for a backend. Does something similar for ASP.NET MVC exists?
Thanks in advance!

I am wanting to learn ASP.Net and am just a beginner. I have done some windows c# forms development before but have no experience of web development.
I have looked at the ASP.net website but beyond this, does anyone have any ideas as to good learning resources particulary in relation to the differences to windows development. For instance, It seems that the way events work is quite different under ASP to windows forms.
Thanks you all.
Thank you very much. I will have a look at MVC. It looks even more complicated but if this is the way things are going then I would be better maybe to invest my learning in this.
I would advise you at this stage in ASP.NETs life to instead direct your attention at ASP.NET-MVC. This url http://www.asp.net/mvc/ is a very good resource for learning.
ASP.NET Forms do a good job of hiding the nature of a connection-less HTTP/browser based technology and presenting a familiar Form with controls and lots of useful events environment that Windows Forms developers are used to.
However this approach comes with a price. For any serious project there is no avoiding getting under the hood of ASP.NET forms and properly understanding the underlying technology. At this point you start to realise the significant compromises the ASP.NET Forms has had to make in order to make Windows Forms developers feel at home.
ASP.NET-MVC, on the other, makes no such compromises. Learning MVC means learning how HTTP works up-front. It also has the advantage of being a much more test friendly approach which when used properly will save you days of debugging.
ASP.NET website - seriously, it's a really good resource.
I'd seriously consider starting with ASP.NET MVC. You'll end up learning what you need from ASP.NET "classic" but you'll pick up all the goodness of MVC (testability, seperation of concerns in your code etc) instead of learning bad habits.
Google for "ASP.NET MVC", check out ScottGu's blog, Scott Hanselmans's blog, or search StackOverflow for ASP.NET MVC (use the ASP.NET MVC tag too).
One good place to start...
http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2009/04/01/asp-net-mvc-1-0.aspx
I know they are a bit out of date, but I still think the two Fritz Onion books give a great look at what's happening in ASP.NET under the hood.
Some resources:
asp.net (as you mentioned)

W3Schools Tutorials (Useful for more than just .NET, but this is the .NET page)
I've been a .NET Windows Forms (not Web forms) developer for 1 and a half years. Then I switched jobs and started using WebForms for like... 2 years. Then I discovered ASP.NET MVC (January 2008) and since then although I still master ASP.NET WebForms I will always prefer ASP.NET MVC.
My recommendation also goes into ASP.NET MVC. You will have to learn HTTP, HTML and a bit of Javascript but after these you will master web development on ALL PLATFORMS.
A great alternative to ASP.NET MVC is ASP.NET Web Pages with Razor syntax. In fact, the latest release of ASP.NET MVC and the latest release of ASP.NET Web Pages both use the same view engine.
Here is a link to the complete ASP.NET Web Pages book:

The skills and code you develop with WebMatrix transition seamlessly to Visual Studio and SQL Server.
I am buidling a new site for an organisation. I am using ASP.NET MVC. The previous site was PHP based and had a PHPBB forum. This forum opened in an IFrame, so no integration.
We want a site with all functionality integrated. I thought, I probably have to write a forum myself. However there are other ASP.NET open source forums out there just like phpbb.
Is there a way to integrate third-party forums cleanly into my site? Or am I better of coding it myself?
Check my answer to this question, for an ASP .NET MVC based forum:
Who knows a good free open source forum in C#?
If you want an ASP .NET Webforms forum I can recommend you YetAnotherForum.NET.
ASP.NET MVC is still in beta stage and not much free options are available on the .NET side of things.
It's actually a very easy task if you already have experience writing MVC app.
Not counting those that haven't got some stable releases out, most free options such as YAF are written to run as a standalone applications on classic ASP.NET webforms framework and will often requires that you use a certain fixed database platform and thus will require work to patch them so they integrate nicely with the MVC framework.
So I suggest you code it up yourself. Especially if you just want an integrated forum that don't need to have as much features as phpbb.
Or better yet, start an open source project!
