Hi Nilesh Membership feature provides secure credential storage for application users. It also provides a membership API that simplifies the task of validating user credentials when used with forms authentication. Membership providers abstract the underlying store used to maintain user credentials. ASP.NET 2.0 includes the following providers: ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider. This uses either an Active Directory or Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) user store. SqlMembershipProvider. This uses a SQL Server user store. With the pluggable membership architecture you can also add support for your own user stores. For example you can add support for other Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) directories or other existing corporate identity stores. To do so you create a custom provider that uses the MembershipProvider abstract class. The following URL shows clearly how to use it in asp.net.
