Microsoft released CardSpace HTML & ASP.NET 2.0 Kits
CardSpace has "go live" licence , but no resources or components. That had just changed - Mike Jones has announced the availability, to the public, of two very useful kits:
- ICardClientKit.zip is the HTML kit. The HTML Kit is a "platform-independent JavaScript and CSS code that can be used to dynamically detect client Information Card support and tailor the web site’s interactions with the user accordingly". This kit is usefull would be usefull for WebSites which are based on JAVA, PHP, Python ... etc.
- ICardAspNetKit.zip is as the ASP.NET 2.0 Kit. The ASP.NET Kit is a base sample of an intergration for an ASP.NET Role/Membership based site. Take notice that in the Windows 2008 the release of ADFS v2 would be available ( ADFS v2 should contain an intergration to the CardSpace Identity Cards BUILT-IN ), so if you're using Active Directory File System as your authentication method the intergration wait a bit.
Thus CardSpace joins the .NET Framework 3.0 as an equal in the Visual Studio ToolBox
