Custom Forms Authentication

Forms Authentication in .NET is a great feature and easy to implement. Its an automatic, site-wide, mechanism to ensure that your user's are authenticated on your site. If they're not authenticated, theyre sent to a login form to authenticate... hence Forms Authentication.

But lets say, for example, that you want to make use of all of the benefits of Forms Authentication, without having a login form. This article below gives an excellent example of how to implement Custom Forms Authentication.
