Remote Desktop & Visual Studio

[blurguava]

I don't know whether I'm in the right place, but well I'm going to post up my problem.

I am using Remote Desktop for Windows XP Professional, and I would need to use it to connect to my ASP.NET solution (Visual Studio 200. Thus, I would be able to code an login authentication. Can anyone teach me how to do this?

Hello blurguava,

If I am not wrong then you are trying to connect your ASP.NET application in Visual Studio by RDPing your server.

Thus, I would be able to code an login authentication.

Can you please let us know whether you are trying to use Authentication in your application ?
But yes, you can use "Forms" and "Windows" authentication in your ASP.NET application.

Yes, this is what I am looking for. Can you teach me how I can do this?

Hello,

Authentication is the process of obtaining identification credentials (user name and password) and validating them. If the credentials are correct then the application that submitted the credentials is considered an authenticated application.
Authentication providers are supported in ASP.NET which are responsible to handle authentication requests.

Supported authentications are -

Windows Authentication
and
Forms Authentication


Following is the syntax to use Windows authentication is web.config file -

<system.web>

<authentication mode="Windows"/>

</system.web>

Following is the syntax to use Forms authentication is web.config file -

< authentication mode="Forms" >
< forms loginUrl="page.aspx"
name=".ASPXFORMSAUTH" >
< / forms >
< / authentication >

You have to modify above parameters as per your requirements.

Okay, I have got it done.

SO what should I do after this? How should I start the coding?

Hello blurguava,

I have just provided the syntax of how to use authentication in asp.net but there are several sections needs to code in web.config which all are depends on your application and its requirement
I would suggest you to ask your web developer to look into it and get it designed for you
