jakkjakk, exactly which template are you referring to? Are you talking about the new "ASP.Net Web Site" template that comes which a few sample pages, and a Login Control etc?
If so, what do you mean by integrating this into your website? The template would really be used as a starting point for your website. You would begin by adding additional pages to the template to complete the pages that you need.

Yes that is exactly what I'm talking about. My problem is I don't really understand the database part of it. I'd like to add my own user data to it and I was wondering if there was an example out there that explained how to do that.
Hey,
You can do this through the ASP.Net Web Site Configuration Tool.
If you created a Web Application, with the solution open, go to:
- Project
- ASP.Net Configuration
If you created a Web Site, with the solution open go to:
- Website
- ASP.Net Configuration
Then, go to the security tab, and create the users and roles that you want to use within your application. These will then get added to the database.
Hope that helps!

So say everytime a new user registers. I want a new table associated with that user to get created. With like date he registered, time, and a simple hello message. YOu can set that all up in the security tab? Because I thought the security tab was just for setting user's abilities.
Hey,
What you are referring to there would be Profile properties associated with a user. If you check my signature for a link called "Profile Provider", you will hopefully see what I mean.
You wouldn't want to create a new row for each user, but rather add the necessary rows to an existing table for the new user. Creating a new table each time would lead to a high level of unmaintainability.
You are not going to get any controls that do the Profile Provider work for you though, you are going to need to create your own UI that will allow the user to enter and edit their additional information. This can be done on a Member Page, or perhaps during the initial user creation by adding additional steps to the new user creation wizard.
