title: DotNetOpenAuth: Webforms, Getting Started
body: <p>I am trying to figure out how to get DotNetOpenAuth(<a href="http://www.dotnetopenauth.net/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.dotnetopenauth.net/</a>) working in my webforms app </p>
  
  <p>I don't understand where to begin.  I have an OpenIDSelector on my Login.aspx that lets you choose google or Yahoo.  You can choose one, then a popup comes up, and lets you login.  Once you login the program hangs because it is trying to do something with a <strong>database</strong>???</p>
  
  <p>Can't I just use some control(like the OpenIDSelector) and get back that the user was authenticated, get their ClaimedID and handle the rest myself?</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT: Trying to get started with OpenID in Webforms?  Go Here...</strong></p>
