Authentication How to

[ThatsIT.net.au]

I want to not display or display parts of a page depending on
authentication. I have a work around for this that I used in classic asp. I
set permissions of a text file, then ask if user has permission on that text
file, if the do I show data. But wondered if ASP.Net would let me do this in
a more elegant way

Have you looked at the built in authentication features in ASP.NET 2005?
