ASP.NET/C# question

[Viktor Popov]

Hi,
I'd like to ask you for using session.
Let's say that we have StartWebForm. A user who has opened it want to Search
the site and he/she click on the link Search.But he/she is not logged on, so
LogInWebPage is openning. After he/she input his/her username and password
and they are correct, he/she goes to SearchWebForm automatically. I don't
know how to do that automatical forward. It happens the same if he/she wants
to input data in the ForumWebForm. How could be accomplished that with
ASP.NET/C#?

Thanks in advance!

Viktor

I don't
know how to do that automatical forward.

Use Forms Authentication. It will automatically redirect to the last page
before authentication.

Thanks for the reply!
I've read about form authentication... I store the username and the pass
into DataBase. How could ASP application know if the user is authenticated
or isn't authenticated when he/she would like to use SearchWebForm?

forms authentication uses a cookie to track if the user is logged in. if
the login ticket is not in the cookie, .net will automatically redirect to
login page. in the web config you can specify which aspx pages require a
login, so your site can have open and restricted pages. there is lots of
documentation on this.

OK, Thaks for the reply! But I saw in the examples that username and
password are stored in the Web.Config file. In my case they are in a
DataBase. Does what you are said be accomplished in this situation?

A couple minutes on google would of found plenty of examples.

Here's some Psuedo Code


Select Username/Password From Database into DataReader

'Means there is data, user exists
If DataReader.Read Then
FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(Username, False)
Else
Display Invalid Login
End If

Victor,

If you'd like I've created an object that allows a user login to be
persisted across all pages of a website, much like the .NET forms
authentication, but it doesn't use cookies or session state. If you'd like
details on the object you may find them on my website,
www.aboutfortunate.com. Just click on the "Code Library" link on the top
right of the page and then click the "Login" button in the menu on the left.

All the code on my site is free.
