session authentication for users

[TG]

Hi,

I need to know the best way to program a login page that will only
authenticate users when they click the login button at the top of our
page. Once they are authenticated they will be able to go through the
process of ordering, etc. I am not very well versed at ASP.NET but I
don't think I want to use Forms Authentication for this. Is there a
simpler way to authenticate users? Could someone please help me with
this code in ASP.NET/VB.NET?
Thank you.

Forms Authentication is nice. Once the user is aunthenticated you can place
web.config files in the folders you want secured only for those who are
logged in. Rather than go through the whole process of setting it up, here is
a link with plenty of information on this. Take a look:
