How to integrate DotNetOpenAuth and openid-selector

I created a DotNetOpenAuth MVC 2 project using the visual studio template, and have it working. However, the sign in page takes a long time to load. Not quite sure exactly what is going on in the library, but it seems like there is some kind of javascript 开发者_StackOverflow社区slowing down the login image button UI from rendering quickly.

I'd like to instead use the openid-selector on the client, rather than the MVC helpers from the DotNetOpenAuth library. What kinds of client & server hooks is the HtmlHelper in this example hiding?

This post shows how to integrate DotNetOpenAuth and openid-selector: http://blog.tchami.com/post/ASPNET-MVC-2-and-OpenID.aspx

The openid-selector client, if you're talking about the one like StackOverflow uses, has no server-side hooks at all in the same way that the HtmlHelper's in DNOA use, since the openid-selector makes no AJAX calls back to the server. DNOA's selector control uses AJAX a lot to provide users with an auto-login experience, auto-discovery as they type in the identifier, etc.

So in short, yes, the openid-selector (SO-style) is much simpler and works great with DNOA as well.

And yes, DNOA's built-in AJAX selector loads more slowly. That's something that I (or a volunteer) still need to work on speeding up.
