Membership store VB.NET helper class

Question

I need to use the standard ASP.NET membership database tables in plain winform projects, and I DO NOT WANT to add the ASP.NET dll, because my app must run with .NET Client framework, and not full framework.

Does somebody knows of a helper class that links to ASP.NET tables in plain vanilla VB ot c# code? I mean with functions equivalent to CreateNewUser, CheckUserCredentials, isUserinRole, RoleList etc...

Answer 1

The membership provider is part of ASP.NET, if you want to use it you'll have to link against that DLL.

If you can't, you'll have to build it yourself or use a third-party utility which does it for you.
