OpenID Starter Kit for ASP.NET MVC

Overview
OpenID Starter Kit for ASP.NET MVC is first and foremost it is a learning tool. I've learned a lot about OpenID while developing this and commented the code a lot. If you want to use it in this way I running the application and stepping through the code. Apart from it's education value you can also use it as a starter kit for your ASP.NET MVC based web applications.
Status and future plans
This project has just started so I will be adding more to it. Right now there is only the simple support for OpenID.

In the future I hope to implement:
Pop up window for signing in to you OpenID provider.
AJAX pop up for signing in to you OpenID provider.
Make all versions available for Razor and Web Froms view engines.
