Originally the site was set up using a Website project which ended up not working for various reasons. I'm trying to make it work as a web application project and have started from the ground up with a new project. I have looked online and not found a good resource that explains some of the "simple" things that are taken for granted when it's a website project.

Some things specifically:

How am I specifying the external sql database that the membership site should use?
Is it possible to set privileges on a folder and require authentication when accessing that content or does each page need to check for itself?

Once again, I'm looking for some resources I can use as I move forward as opposed to answers to specific questions (although those are welcome as well).
