.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / July 2007Membership Class Annoyances or am I just ignorant?
Howdy, My biggest annoyance with the membership class is that i cannot seem to get to it in my master files. I'd like to setup my master file to check for whether or not the current user is logged in or not, and if they are not, send them over to the login page. But I cannot access the membership class in a master page. I've done some reading up on this and some people have suggested using a session variable to store a flag to indicate whether or not the user is logged in. I tried that but it appears the membership class expires sooner than the session does. Any ideas? Thanks, David Lozzi Why not let the memberhsip system do this? If their cookie expires, then the membership system should automatically send them over to the login page you specify. The easiest way is just to test Page.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated to see if it's true. It sounds as if something isn't configured correctly as the system should be automatically handling all this for you. The entire point of the membership system is to not use session variables, those are old classic asp principals and aren't needed in ASP.Net 2.0.

Can you give me a sample of correctly configuring the membership class and I'm assuming the Forms authentication as well? Thanks, David Lozzi > Why not let the memberhsip system do this?

However, anything you save in the Session object will be re-created for each request. If you are saving the logged in status to the session correctly, you should be able to retrieve it later. That said, there is probably a better way to do what you are wanting. Have you looked into the built-in membership features as far as automatically re-directing unauthenticated users? > Howdy, > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > David Lozzi The System.Web.Security.Membership class is a static class with static methods. In other words, you can get to it from any point in your code, as long as the namespace is resolved. However, when you say "I cannot access the membership class" you are not describing anything that helps diagnose what problem you're having. What exactly are you doing to "access" the class, and what is the result/behavior/exception that you are experiencing?
