The Asp.Net membership provider has some clear uses in a web app. I am thinking about trying to leverage some of the features in a windows application (more specifically WPF). Does anyone know if it is possible to use the core features in a windows app? I am mostly just looking for it to create my database tables, and maintain users, roles, and profiles. I obviously do not need to use the built-in web controls (e.g. Login).
I have a winform app that talks to DotNetNuke (DNN). DNN uses the Asp.net membership provider, so the source will work for other apps that use that membership provider as well. It's a very simple app, so you should be able to read the source easily.

You should be able to adapt the source to work with WPF.
