Hey, check out this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.security.membership.validateuser.aspx

Does exactly what you want. You write the code like this:

bool valid = Membership.ValidateUser(Username, Password);

If FormsAuthentication.Authenticate (txtUserName.Text, txtPassword.Text) Then    
    FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage (UserName.Text, chkPersistCookie.Checked)
Else
    'Invalid credentials supplied, display message'
    lblMessage.Text = "Invalid login credentials"
End If
