Login

[Qweertz]

Hi!

I'm new in ASP.net and I hope you can help me to solve my little problem.

I have a web application which requires login.
Usernames and passwords are in SQL Express database (among with other data).
I need to check if user entered correct username and password (and proceed
him to "secure area" of web application), but I shouldn't connect directly
to database but via web service.
So web application sends login details to web service which contacts
database and checks login details.
How to do this?
If I wouldn't have to use web service I would create Session in web
application when user enters correct username and password. This would solve
my problem. Can I do something similar when web service is included?

Thanks,
Tomica Gril
