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.
