storing username

Hello,

Okay, I have a logon page that takes the values entered from the username and password textboxes and compares against database table.

If all checks out ok and they are in the system. I can I then store the username into a variable that can be reused later within the application.

I am using form authenication using the web config file. I used to just use session variables in old asp.

But want to know how to do it the best way.

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Kenny

There are lots of ways to do it. I would suggest using cookies and just encrypt the data inside the cookie. The encryption will add some security so users cannot just spoof a login.

Hope this helps,

Thanks,

I ended up figuring it out.
