User Accounts and Password Protection

[Mitch Bartlett]

I am writing an application in vb.net. I need the application to give
the user the ability to create a user account on my web site. The
application must pull custom data based on the username and password.

I see all kinds of things that I could start with. Does anybody out
there have any suggestions on how to accomplish this? What
technologies should I use? ADO, PHP, ASP? Any information would be
helpful as I have never even come close do doing anything like this
before.

Thanks.

You should have asked your question in a .NET newsgroup (look for dotnet or
vsnet in the group name).

Nevertheless, I'd suggest that a .NET Web Service would be the easiest way
to retrieve (confidential) data from a web site using a Windows application.

G'day Jason,
You may be able to help me.
I'm trying to build an auto Downloader in VB6 to get Stock data from a
password protected ASP site. VB.net is out of the question at this time.
I've looked at the "Internet transfer control" but am having trouble
understanding the method of "posting" form data to the site and
retrieving a page. I've read a few tutorials on asp but do not
understand how the form data is sent to the server.

Any ideas or advice greatly appreciated.
