2.0 security

[CSharpguy]

On my web app I need to have a login screen, I've been reading about the Role
and MembershipAPI that 2.0 offers and the login control as well. My web app
is using Forms Auth, my question is, is it possible to use the Login Control,
the MemberShipAPI, etc, BUT validate the user against my exisitng SQL server
database as we do for our .NET 1.1 web app?

So instead of using the asp.net admin site, I want to validate the users off
of my SQL db, but still use the login controls, password recovery control
that is offered in 2.0. is it possible and if so how or can someone point to
to some examples?

You will need to write your own MembershipProvider derived class. Here are
