icrosoft ASP.NET 2.0 shipped with a complete membership API that allows developers to manage the application's users and their roles. However, this API best suits small to medium web sites due to their limitation in expressing a detailed member record.
Fortunately, the Membership API is built on the provider model so you can extend it. You can use the technique discussed here to overcome this limitation and extend the Microsoft ASP.NET 2.0 Membership API to accommodate custom member records with a solution that works on top of the Membership API without requiring any change in the API.
