Web Site / Variables

[Guest]

I'm making a Web Site with Visual Basic .Net and i need the user to log on in
order to have access to some pages on the web site. How can i maintain the
username and password variables from the login page allways availlable to the
other pages in order to determine the access level, that the user has, for
each page?
(Maybe there's another technique that i don't know without using variables)

My thanks in advanced

The Session object is usually used for this purpose.

You can do the login and set Session("loggedin")=true

The key "loggedin" will persist across pages and will be available to the
rest of your application.

When the user logs out you can do Session.Abandon to clear any information
that might be hanging about associated with that client session.
