What is the difference between login controls and Forms authentication?
-
Forms authentication can be easily implemented using login controls without
writing any code.
-
Login control performs functions like prompting for user credentials,
validating them and issuing authentication just as the FormsAuthentication
class.
-
However, all that’s needs to be dne is to drag and drop the use control from
the tool box to have these checks performed implicitly.
-
The FormsAuthentication class is used in the background for the authentication
ticket and ASP.NET membership is used to validate the user credentials.

What is the difference between login controls and Forms authentication?
Login control provides form authentication. If we implement for authentication
through form authentication then we do it through code. On the other hand,
login control allows the easy implementation on the basis of form
authentication without writing much of code. Underneath the control, the class
used for login control is also FormAuthentication class. So instead of creating
your own set of user credential validations and issuing of authentication
ticket, it is simpler to use a normal login control.
