'Windows® Forms intranet applications often resort to storing user
credentials in a database even when deployed in a homogenous Windows
environment. This stems from the limitations of using Windows accounts. For
ASP.NET applications, the Microsoft® .NET Framework 2.0 provides
out-of-the-box custom credentials management. You can easily authenticate
users and authorize them, without ever having to use Windows accounts. This
saves developers valuable time and effort, not to mention providing a
high-quality, secure solution.'

I need to create a way for users to access their asp.net membership
accounts
from a desktop application via a web service.
Everything is working except for now all I use is the members username
becuase everything else is encrypted.
In short, I need to learn how to take a string and encrypt it in the same
format as the asp.net membership tables have them stored.
THANK!
