Priyanath Online!

Priyanath, our SQL Server backend, successfully passed the data connection test. In otherwords, the web application that is running locally on my laptop, connects over the internet to Priyanath.

There is something magical about entering data on a webform and seeing it stored in a database located on a different computer via the internet.

In the past, I created "from scratch" login, authentication and personalization logic (LA&P). Because i am so impressed with asp.net 2.0 built-in LA&P services, I am going to leverage them as much as I can. This will also help as others jump into the project as "owners" - ie developers - such as Nabha, Kent and, perhaps, Scott. Above is a screen shot.

All this is quite exciting because the foundation is being laid that will provide very sophisticated LA&P "high-end" features with very little coding or "hand-work".

Next step: adapting default tables for our specific needs.
