Hi pankaj,
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.

Membership and Role Manager Providers - ASP.NET 2.0 now includes built-in support for membership (user name/password credential storage) and role management services out of the box. Because all of these services are provider-driven, they can be easily swapped out and replaced with your own custom implementation.
Login Controls - The new login controls provide the building blocks to add authentication and authorization-based UI to your site, such as login forms, create user forms, password retrieval, and custom UI for logged in users or roles. These controls use the built-in membership and role services in ASP.NET 2.0 to interact with the user and role information defined for your site.
Forms authentication - Forms-based authentication is an ASP.NET authentication service that enables applications to provide their own logon UI and do their own credential verification. ASP.NET authenticates users, redirects unauthenticated users to the logon page, and performs all the necessary cookie management. This sort of authentication is a popular technique used by many Web sites.
