Hi Dan,

That's a great initiative. MSDN is already considered to be the best content available for developers and IT professionals. All the non-Microsoft technologies developers always wish for such kind of content for their technologies. One of the best thing about MSDN content is the assurance that most of the time it will be accurate. I hope this will continue after opening the MSDN to other non-Microsoft content.

Dan,

I've been using Silverlight.net to upload my videos and notice that this site manages my Passport Account MUCH better than the MSDN sites.

Any chance of getting the same code on MSDN that the Silverlight.net site has.

It's a real pain to always have to type my password everytime I go to the forums page to help someone or review postings.

Silverlight.net has a very cool helper that remembers all your Passport accounts and with one click I'm logged in.

Thanks,

Karl Shifflett - MVP

karl,

That is the Windows Live Sign-in Assistant. Its not provided by the Silverlight.net team, its just something that that team have chosen to leverage. I agree that MSDN should leverage it too.

Karl - send me mail at dantr@microsoft.com if you like. We are shifting towards the Live ID Helper that I think you are referencing. However, I am confused by the Silverlight.Net comment. As far as I know they use Telligent Forms Authentication - not Live ID. Checking though...
