I’m using VS2005 .net V2 beta and I’m generally very impressed with the membership classes and new security controls.
However, although you can do just about everything else programmatically, there are two methods that seems to be missing. I can’t see how you can login and logout a user from code. For example, if say you wanted to create your own login control, I would expect to be able to do something like this:
Membership.GetUser("Fred")
And
Membership.GetUser.logout
But sadly, no such methods exist.
I feel that I’m missing something obvious, so I just need someone to tell me what it is!!

It's all changed with V2 and it's membership classes which handle everything you could possibly do with a user programmatically.........
Except the login/out bit!
formsauthentication still works for signout, but the authenticate method only works if you store your IDs in the web.config file and the whole point of the new membership classes is that you don't!
I found something new for you, I think this is helpful

Very helpful, thanks very much.
I had used the Membership.ValidateUser before and whilst it did indeed validate the user, it didn’t sign in. I had forgotten about the old FormsAuthentication.Redire
