How to use ASP.NET membership API in a web service (newbie question)

I have a database where membership information is controlled by the ASP.NET api membership. I also need to access this information from a web service. Can I just use membership classes or is there some kind of limitation that says that these classes can only be used in a script like \ aspx?

You can use the membership API wherever you want, but I would think about whether you can really protect your web services so that they can not be abused, and because of abuse I mean that someone comes in and knocks your web services to block accounts, guess user names and passwords, and use any other functionality that you want to provide.

You can use these classes, but you need to mark your WebService methods with a special attribute to enable session state .

[WebMethod(EnableSession=true)]
