Newbie Migrating from Classic ASP

[CompCop911]

Hi all, I am an ASP Developer, and I manage a website for a friend that uses classic ASP and an Access DB. He wants me to upgrade it to ASP.NET 2.0, so now I've gotta learn it lol...

I've started reading the QuickStart at

http://www.asp.net

(

http://www.asp.net/QuickStart/aspnet/),

and am learning the syntax of VB 2005.

But I have a question- My friend has transferred his website to the webhost Brinkster to allow support for ASP.NET 2.0. I was looking at the Login Controls that come with ASP.NET, and they look really useful, but is it possible to store the users in an Access DB? The reason I am asking is our plan does not support SQL Server, and the QuickStart is not too clear on this. Keep in mind we are on a webhost, with no real access to server settings and what not.

Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Yes, you can change the default provider, but in my experience it's not as easy as it should be. Anyway, here's an article that may be of some use to you:
