WPF + MVC sharing same assemblies

I got a solution with several projects (domain model, data access using EF, service implementations, etc) and consume these in a MVC project.

The authentication/authorization project uses forms authentication.

I need (it's a test kind of) to add a WPF project (hardly ever used it, plan to figure out the basics as I go along) that does the same thing as the web (mvc) app and use the same services, etc.

Will I be able to use th forms authentication service in the WPF project, or what? ( I hardly can recall a thing since I last did desktop apps).

Hmmm...ok, let me change the question:

How would you normally do authentication and authorization in WPF?

Is it possible to create something loosely coupled that can be implemented in other applications (such as asp.net / MVC)?

The answer is yes. That model was created for ASP.NET but can work in Windows apps too. You just have to add the appropriate references and a bit of plumbing. I did this search recently:

There may be similar information available for WPF or you may have to just adapt the WinForms info for WPF.

Thanks for the good news. At least know now I won't be wasting my time going that direction.

WPF is "just" an other way of creating the UI of the application.

of course..as long you keep your things loosely coupled.
Just need to find out HOW to use my dll that take care of authentication in a wpf app.
In your web app it's just a matter setting things up in your web.config. (I'm sure the answer is in a link I got with jmcilhinney's hint here)
