UserNamePasswordValidator Is unknown in wcf service application ?

Question

Hello all,

I'm trying to implement 3 tier application so I have 3 separate app like this(Client(console app),Service Contract(Class library),wcf service)

the problem is here when i'm trying to add my Custom UserNamePasswordValidator Class , the UserNamePasswordValidator base class is unknown.

I've already add it's reference ,

so I have to make it in my contract library and It's work But Because i need to connect to db to check user name and password and my data mapper class is in Service layer , I think it's better to have the custom usernamepasswordValidator in my wcf service ?!? correct me if I wrong.

thank you.

You need to add reference to System.IdentityModel.Selectors.

See example here:

Thanks Yaron,

But I told you that I've already added the refrence ,

So if you create a new project in vs 2010 (wcf application project) you can't load system.IdentityModel.Selectors.
