David,

If the reason you want to write your own control is because of the markup supplied by the login control you can add the control to a user control/web form and then in design mode go to the control tasks and choose "convert to template".

All your code needs to work is to have textbox's labeled the same e.g. <asp:TextBox ID="UserName" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>.

As an example here is a control I have created:

        <asp:Login ID="Login1" runat="server" FailureText="Your email or password was incorrect. Please try again."
            Width="100%" PasswordRecoveryText="Forgot your password." PasswordRecoveryUrl="~/Registration.aspx"
            CreateUserText="Register" CreateUserUrl="~/Registration.aspx">
            <LayoutTemplate>
                <div id="memberControls">
                    <div class="row">
                        <div class="memberLabel"><label >Email: <span>*</span></label></div>
                        <asp:TextBox ID="UserName" runat="server" CssClass="txtinput"></asp:TextBox>
                        <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="UserNameRequired" runat="server" ControlToValidate="UserName"
                            ErrorMessage="User Name is required." ToolTip="User Name is required." ValidationGroup="ctl00$Login1">*</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
                    </div>
                    <div class="row">
                        <div class="memberLabel"><label >Password: <span>*</span></label></div>
                        <asp:TextBox ID="Password" runat="server" TextMode="Password" CssClass="txtinput" ></asp:TextBox>
                        <asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="PasswordRequired" runat="server" ControlToValidate="Password"
                            ErrorMessage="Password is required." ToolTip="Password is required." ValidationGroup="ctl00$Login1">*</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
                    </div>
                    <div id="errorrow">
                        <asp:Literal ID="FailureText" runat="server" EnableViewState="False"></asp:Literal>
                    </div>
                    <div class="row">
                        <asp:CheckBox ID="RememberMe" runat="server" CssClass="chkBox" />
                        <div class="memberLabel" style="width:40%">
                            <label>Remember me</label>
                        </div>
                        <asp:Button ID="LoginButton" runat="server" CommandName="Login" Text="Log In" CssClass="button"
                            ValidationGroup="ctl00$Login1" />
                    </div>
                    <div class="row">
                    </div>
                    <div class="row">
                        <br />
                        <asp:HyperLink ID="btnNotRegistered" runat="server" Text="Not Registered Yet?" /><br />
                        <asp:HyperLink ID="btnForgotPassword" runat="server" Text="Forgot Password?" />
                    </div>
                </div>
            </LayoutTemplate>
        </asp:Login>

I also suggest looking at the http://our.umbraco.org/projects/osmembercontrols/ package - either to sue or for ideas.

Thanks, Paul.

I guess I'll have to use the ASP.Net login control if I want to use the ASP.NET Membership Provider model.

This is the line of code you will have to use :

Member.AddMemberToCache(currentMember);

  Membership.ValidateUser(strUsername, strPassword); 

Returns true if username and password matches.

Login timeout is set in web.config
