Back in January of 2006, I published on MSDN an article and source code for managing ASP.NET 2.0 Membership users with an ObjectDataSource.  Since I'm not much of a VB person, I only published them in c#.  since then, I've had hundreds of requests for this code in VB.  Until now, I've had to send an excuse for not having it.  Now, thanks to Dave at Tangible Solutions Software, we now have a VB version.

Inserting Programmatically with ObjectDataSource ASP.NET 2.0 ( ObjectDataSource1.Insert(); )   ObjectDataSource’s are great for building your own middle tier between your aspx web page and your database (or any other datastore for that matter).
