Getting cookies data

I have an application where I use the standard login controls from VS 2005.

I have a problem, how do I get the user info if the user has marked the checkbox "remember me"?
In my application I load the username, when the user is logging in, that is the textbox named Login1.LayoutTemplate.UserName

How do I get the data when the user automatically is logged in and doesn't enter the user name?

Hey,

You should be able to use:

Code:

---

HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name

---

I haven't got Visual Studio open in front of me just now, but you should be able to shorten the above to:

Code:

---

User.Identity.Name

---

If I remember correctly, but you would need to check.

i've checked that...

Remember Me option Doesn't Remember Me....

even if i use

Code:

---

FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(UserName.Text,true);

---

i mean once u close the browser...

you are logged out...!

so any help on this..?

Hey,

I was referring to the use of the ASP.Net Membership Provider, not a self implemented "Remember Me", is this what you are referring to?

Gary

Yes i mean

Code:

---

if(Membership.ValidateUser(UserName,Passoword))
  FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(UserName.Text,true);

---

also instead of this if i write my own custom logic then..it would be

Code:

---

if(UserName == DatabaseUserName && Password == DataBasePassword)
{
  FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(UserName.Text,true);
}

---

In bothe case Remember Me i've Kept true.
so the persistent cookie will be created but...
it does not Remember...!

Hey,

Which browser are you testing this with? Are cookies enabled?

Gary

yup...cookies heavily enabled

now u tell me...according to you wot should happen..?

am i missing any procedure...?

or you u tell me hw should i proceed..!

Hey,

First of all, I would be checking your cookies to make sure that a cookie has been created. If required, I would call the other overload for the RedirectFromLoginPage to include a path to the cookie:

From there, I would ask, how are you verifying that the "Remember Me" functionality isn't working?

Gary

You can try to validate the user using
Dim usern As MembershipUser = Membership.GetUser()

I think the problem is can be caused by the session timeout, please try to set your session timeout to 100000 in your webconfig just for testing this
