membership class based tools

.net has a class named membership , which provides simple methods like getuser().username and others , those methods are working in most web applications , after all its reasonable to assume they have implemented there security from some custom membership provider .
how come i couldn't fine tool based on the membership provider ... for example o poll system , a statistics system , or a forum based on those methods ???

 

There's a good rundown here:
http://www.asp.net/learn/security/

And many of the Starter Kits do use those methods.
Did you need more specific information?

wow , thanks those links have great users managing systems , but it wasn't quite what i was looking for - i was looking for things that can be used to enhance the website from the user view not from the administration view , things like a forum or a poll or whatever else might be there.
btw , did you happen to know of any good statistics system , all the good things i found costed money and i want a free one ...

 

You can probably find what you need here: http://codeplex.com
More than you need usually, new submissions everyday.

The MSDN Code Gallery too:

i dont even know under what keyword to search what i need , i browsed google for hours for no results ..

 

I believe you can implement all the features you mentioned in DotNetNuke with its downloadable modules. http://www.dotnetnuke.com/

You can also look at the ASP.NET starter kits, which generally use the membership provider. http://asp.net/community/projects/

I struggled greatly with this about a year ago. Peter Kellner provided some fabulous assistance. Here is a link to one of his articles:

I believe he even has a free solution available for download.


HTH!
