Windows Live ID Client 1.0 SDK

The Windows Live ID Client 1.0 software development kit (SDK) provides a managed API for Windows Live sign-in from within desktop client applications. Included in the release is a sample application together with its source code so that you can build your own client applications.

Benefits:

• No need to worry about the technical details of authentication! The Windows Live ID authentication service manages this process for you.
• Don’t bother worrying about how to store and retrieve user account information! The Windows Live ID service uses the same functionality as Messenger to cache the user name and/or password for use in later user sign-ins.
• By enabling Windows Live accounts to directly sign in to your site, any of the hundreds of millions of users who have a Windows Live ID can become a user of your site.
