I am relatively new to asp.net so sorry if the question sounds silly.
I have to build an Asp.net web application able to login on a OpenId custom server (i.e. not included in the DotNetOpenAuth library). I am using vs2010 and .net framework 4.0.
After many searches I found these posts where it is explained.

How to use OpenID providers with unique identifier URLs in ASP.NET MVC4
All of them refer to MVC and to a directory/file called /App_Start/AuthConfig.cs where you have to register your new provider in order to be able to use the client that comes built-in with the library.
From other searching I have understood this directory is not available in Asp.net web application.
Does exist a way/workaround for achieving the same results in Asp.net web application?
Do you have any suggestion/link on how to implements such custom client in my server?
Thank you stmod
thanks for your help. After your comment I was back to the provider for asking clarification, but so far, they cannot help me more than providing that link. So I tried to manage it working in Java and I did it using openid4java library and the following code:
URL u = new URL("https://logint2.idm.toon.sul.t-online.de/gcp-web/login/10000112/");
Identifier i = new MyIdentifier();
*//myIdentifier is my implementation of interface openid4java.discovery.Identifier and returns* "http://specs.openid.net/auth/2.0/identifier_select"
DiscoveryInformation discovered = new DiscoveryInformation(u,i);
AuthRequest authReq = manager.authenticate(discovered, returnToUrl);
With this code (and others for managing the response) I have it working.
I am trying now to apply the same to my dot.net solution.
Can you help me in writing the code for having the DotnethOpenauth working with this endpoint?
I think I have to override the Identifier class as I did in Java, but I am stuck.
Thanks stmod
