The view shouldn't matter as far as the example goes, your field names in HTML will need to match the parameter names being passed into the Logon POST method... userName, password, rememberMe, and returnUrl. ...if your field names match the parameter names (if you manually type the HTML fields), MVC will bind them for you. You could also create the Razor view with a class like User and then pass a user object into your Logon POST method, but you would have to add the additional properties for returnUrl and rememberMe. @Carlos

We have since moved on to use C# and it is much nicer, but I don't look down on those who use VB because sometimes you don't have a choice. @Hugh

Good article, nice site. If there is a way you could let JeffKirby know that I would love to see his C# code I'd really appreciate it! Hey Chris! Good article, nice site.

The group names should match those you create in Active Directory. I have noticed that the built-in groups do not show in this list. I have had to use my own custom groups. If there are spaces in the group names, that may be the problem. Maybe the IsInRole trims the group passed into it and the Authorize atribute does not? Not sure. If you found another way that you prefer, that's great! The nice thing about programming is there's about a million ways to do something and you get to be creative in coming up with your answer. @JeffKirby
