What do you want the receiving page to do?
Do you know how to write an aspx page?
Have you attempted to write the page?
Do you have more code sample?

Hi davebat,

I want the receiving page to validate the username and password pass by client application. and if success then i will redirect it to the main page. is this possible? or the client application should call my aspx page?

thank you

Hello,

Ok, just so we are clear, can you perhaps provide some more information...

For instance, are you hosting this web page within your Windows Form application, and on clicking the button you want to post the login information to the Web Browser control within your application?

Or, are you looking to "automate" an Internet Explorer instance from your Windows Form application, post the login information, and then navigate to the home page?

There are a couple intricacies that you are going to have to think about before implementing this, but it would be good to know exactly what you are trying to achieve before sending you off on the wrong path.

It sounds like you've never built/deployed a asp.net website is this the case?

It also sounds like an internet (external server) NOT intranet (local server) website is this the case?

A website using asp.net forms authentication can take the posted credentials, authenticate the user and maintain security over protected resources/pages. User credentials are normally stored in a database (sql server) but can be held in the web.config file. There are lots of tutorials and examples on doing this it just depends on your experience.
