Hello,

 

I have a site with an existing member database, and am having some difficulty working out where to begin with the integration.

 

Essentially I would like users to be able to seemlessly access the chat and messenger.

 

The guide on integrating the Direct Login with an existing member database is a little vague.

As my site is built in VB.Net I cannot create a class in C#.Net.

 

Are there any examples of how to do this with VB.Net?

 

My site works like this:

User logs in with email address and password. The session is given a variable which stores the users ID (i.e. Session("UID"))

 

I simply need to check that this exists and that verifies the member is logged in, it can also be used to get their unique nickname which I want to be the same in the Chat and messenger applications.

 

Your assistance is greatly appreciated.
