The Login control provides the user interface to log a user into a web site. The Login control uses the Membership service to authenticate the user in your membership system. The default Membership service from your configuration file will be used automatically, however you can also set the Membership provider that you would like used as a property on the control.
The Login Control consists of,
- Username Label and Textbox: Collects the string used to identify the user in the membership system.
- Password Label and Textbox: Collects the password for the specified user. The textbox text is always obscured.
- LoginButton: The button to submit the users request for authentication.
- RememberMe: Configurable to display a checkbox giving the user the option to store a persistent cookie on the user's machine.
- Title and Instruction: Text to orient and guide the user through the process.
- Links: Configurable links to help, password recovery and user registration information.
- Validators: Required field Validators for the username and password textboxes.
For Example,
- <asp:Login ID="Login1" runat="server" BackColor="#FFE0C0" BorderColor="Red" ></asp:Login>
