I don't know how I missed this for so long... but I just realized that the CSS Adapters are now a community product. As best I can tell, Microsoft decided to hand control of the Adapters project over to the OSS community and it is now being hosted at CodePlex. Actually...

As you might have been able to tell by my last few posts about CSS Friendly Control Adapters - I'm in the middle of using the adapters on a project... and I'm running into all kinds of trouble.

And you're also using some of the new Login controls to cut down on the hand-rolled authentication/authorization code, great. Do you also have ViewState disabled? Are you also having trouble getting values out of the controls during PostBack processing? I was! My scenario I was using the CSS Friendly Control Adapters and the Login controls without ViewState.
