I have seen the default 'Account' Model and Controller which comes default with a standard MVC3 Application, how ever, as I have generated my Database first.
I already have designed my own 'Users' table, which I'd like a simple Registration / Log in / Log out to be implemented.
Are there are good tutorials showing me how to do this or any advice from yourselves? Many thanks for your time.
It's simple. Create your class derived from the abstract class MembershipProvider
public class MyMembershipProvider : MembershipProvider
{
}

Do the same for RoleProvider if you need it.
public class MyRoleProvider : RoleProvider
{
}

Implement only the methods you will use and that's all. Start with ValidateUser() ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.security.membershipprovider.validateuser.aspx)
Don't forget to point your provider, that is in this case MyMembershipProvider to web.config in <system.web> <membership> <providers> section.
Don't complicated it as in almost every tutorial/blog post out there is doing, it's a simple task.
UPDATE:
In the RoleProvider you only need to implement
public override string[] GetAllRoles()
{
return RoleRepository.GetAllRoles();
}
public override string[] GetRolesForUser(string username)
{
return RoleRepository.GetRolesForUser(username);
}
public override bool IsUserInRole(string username, string roleName)
{
return RoleRepository.IsUserInRole(username, roleName);
}
In the MembershipProvider you only need to implement
public override bool ValidateUser(string username, string password)
{
return MembershipRepository.IsUserValid(username,password);
}
You could always use your own ValidateUser() method regardless of the method in the MembershipProvider.
You can implement your custom Membership provider:
