Quick password protection

I am using c# .NET Web Forms 4.0

I have a folder like the following that I need to password protect so anybody wanting to view the page needs to first enter a useridpassword (that we tell them) in order to view the page.

example:

www.abc.com/srlv/

so under srlv I have web pages that need to be password protected.

Is there a quick way to do this?

The quickest (not the best) way is:

Example Page Code. (Obviously include your usual web forms code... masterpages etc..

<html>
<body>
<div id="login_form" runat="server">
 <asp:TextBox ID="username" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
 <asp:TextBox ID="password"  TextMode="Password" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
 <asp:Button ID="Login" OnClick="Login_Click" runat="server" Text="Login" />
</div>

<div id="rest_of_site" runat="server" visible="false">
//rest of site...
</div>

Then on the Login_Click event: 

    protected void Login_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if ((username.Text == "Username") & (password.text == "Password"))
              {
                     login_form.visible = false;
                      rest_of_site.visible = true;
               }
            else { //show some error }
        }

You could use authorization and location settings in web.config.

Quickest way is to enable Windows Authentication for that folder, and turn off Anonymous access.

This does mean that you'll need a Windows account for them to log in with (either shared or individual).
