Hello all,

I'm doing some testing with implementing my own login using the membership class. To make it simple, I used the ASP.NET 2.0 config tool and created 1 user. I then threw two text boxes (for usernam and password) and a button (to login) on my webform.

I should be able to authenticate by using this in the button's click event:
Code:
'Login user
                If Membership.ValidateUser(txtUserName.text, "txtPassword.text") Then
                    FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(userName, False)
                    
                Else
                    'Not Authenticated
                End If
I don't understand why its not working. Does anyone know if I'm doing something wrong? I'm usnig ASP.NET 2.0 and VB 2005

Thanks,

Strick
