Membership Management for Asp.Net

"...but Visual Studio already has an Asp.Net Web Site Administration Tool!"

So why would you need this control?

The Membership Manager Control is not meant to replace the built-in Web Site Administration Tool. Instead, it adds functionality that Microsoft left out.

  • The Asp.Net Web Site Administration Tool

    The Asp.Net Web Site Administration Tool provides a great interface for managing application settings and setting up access rules and user roles. It also includes functionality for creating users in order to add them to those roles. But wait... the Asp.Net WebSite Administration Tool works on your development machine and not on your live web server.

    And while you can certainly copy updated configuration files to your remote web server, you probably won't want to do that with your database!

  • The Membership Manager Control

    The Membership Manager control is designed to be placed into an access-controlled location on your web site and is focused on handling the most common issues you will encounter when administering your living web site.

    Plus, you get extra features such as "Change User Name", "Automatic Wild Card Search" and more.
