I am using visual studio 2010 and have created a website for a client. The problem I am having, other than enabling flash video playback which I am researching, is how to make the user accounts expire after a year. He wants users to pay for a year subscription to the website to access the videos, but I can't figure out how to make them good for only a year. And as an aside, if I could make the videos "self-destruct" after 48 hours when downloaded.
Do I just need to make a field for account type in my user account table? In a technical way, if(account type = admin) then the account would log as admin; otherwise, a user with less privileges.
Can a user connect to my web site using an Orkut account ? Just like Google Friend Connect or Facebook, but with Orkut.
The idea is, the user goes to my web site, I have a "Connect using Orkut" button there, on click takes him to the Orkut login page, once s/he logins and grants access to my app, get's redirected to my web site with the Orkut ID as a parameter. The same procedure that works for Google Friend Connect and also Facebook Connect....
I haven't seen an example of this with Orkut. Can it be done ? Is there an Orkut Connect or similar ?
A sample in c# would be excellent, but I would be happy with a sample in any language.

I have a system set up to lock certain content in a database table so only one user can edit that content at a time. Easy enough and that part is working fine.

I use ASP.NET Form Authentication method in my project to keep login information as user id in user's cookie like the below code. It works well without any problem.
But the problem occurs when user use automatic login and then he change his password. In some site, I see it will force you to re-login when you change password. It's quite easy for forcing current page to log out and re-login again.
But I don't find any nice idea for forcing other auto-login cookie in other browser to login again. I have some quite ugly idea for doing that but I don't like it.
Keep latest change password date in user data.
Put it in authentication cookie like the following code.

I have never created a user control before. I want to make a simple "date selector" with 3 DDL's for day, month, year, and be able to re-use it numerous times on a page. I don't need to set any values of the control from the page itself, but I do need to read the DDL.selectedValues. I created the DDLs in the ascx file, but am not sure what properties to create. Does it make sense, or is it recommended, to create a public readonly property for each DDL _as_ a DDL? Or do I want to create a public property of type "string" and return the DDL.selectedValue as a string?
Can I specify in web.config, or even programatically somehow, that anytime ASP.NET needs to login into SQL server that is use the DefaultAppPool account even if my Website is on the "File System"? What would I put in the web.config file?
<identity impersonation="true"> maybe? And what else?
