Integrate YAF.NET in my existing ASP.NET WebForm project

Ok so I have a website and I want to integrate it with YAF.NET, I'd like YAF.NET to use the same Membership Provider as my web application already does, and I was wondering what would be the best way to achieve this result.

I have both the webapp and YAF working perfectly fine on their own.

I thought maybe the best way was using a virtual directory, but then I wouldn't be able to use a master page file from the webapp within YAF. And just copying and pasting the whole project sounds horrible. Maybe I should just paste the DLLs and try figuring out what's left but there's a lot of stuff like services and I'm not sure whether they'd work...

Solution

Yet Another Forum.NET uses standard ASP.NET Membership defined in the web.config.

Change the membership provider in web.config file.

<system.web>
  <authentication mode="Forms"/>
  <membership
  defaultProvider="myMembershipProvider" >
    <providers>
      <add name="myMembershipProvider"
      type="myMembershipProvider"
      requiresQuestionAndAnswer="true"
      connectionString="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.
        OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\myMembershipProvider\
        App_Data\Members.mdb;Persist Security
        Info=False"
        />
    </providers>
  </membership>
</system.web>
