I know nothing... and need help... please.

Hello and excuse my ignorance.
I work for a small family company and have been tasked to develop an onlineasset management system for our customers, because if I can build a computer of course I must know how to do that.
I started with VWD 2005express and have moved on to VS 2005 Pro, probably overkill.
Where I am stuck is the login page... everything else I can fake, figure out, or look up, but I can't find anything about how to manage users on a real webpage, only locally.
I am presuming this is all done through the website administration tool, which I have spent alot of time playing with to try to make it work, but am I getting nowhere. I am pressuming it is a problem within the Provder settings, I even found the tool to add a new provider, but still I can't make it recognize my DASP SQL2005 server.
I have put pages on the web. I have posted info to my SQL db, viewed/modified it via the web and remotely from VS2005. This seems to be the last major learninghurtle I face before I can enter the development phase.

Long story short. I need to create users and multiple roles for my webpage, but I can't figure out how to make the login infopost to my DASP SQL db.

Please help.

 

Thank you,


This has solved my problems. It is suprising to me that something so basic would be left so complicated. You'd think that microsoft would make that a little bit easier to get to/ figure out... but again, I know nothing, so maybe it's just me.


Thanks again.
