ASP.NET 2.0 Personalization & Management Component (Backport) to ASP.NET Re-Released!

Need a user roles, personalization & membership logic in your ASP.NET 1.1 applciation, but can't use Whidbey v2.0?  Then consider the backport of the ASP.NET 2.0 Personalization & Membership Framework functionality that runs on v1.1, which was re-released today!  This package is unsupported by Microsoft, but offers a solid framework for user & role management included in v2.0, available today for your v1.1 websites! 

Evaluate this if you plan to migrate your ASP.NET 1.1 application to 2.0 in the near future, and don't plan on doing a complete rewrite.  This should definately ease your transition.

This was available previously, but was pulled for the time being, probably during the internal Beta 2 push.

  • Thanks for the heads up. :-)

  • However from the page: "If you use this component in your ASP.NET 1.1 application, there will be significant work required to upgrade that application to use the ASP.NET 2.0 Membership and Roles feature."



    I wonder if ("complete rewrite" == "significant work")

  • I thought the same thing. My initial thought is NOT, because you shouldn't have to start from scratch - it is based on ASP.NET 2.0's P&M Code. Maybe a CYA statement since this is not formally supported, and didn't want any customer liability from people that used it.
