problem with saving global login information

[linda.chen]

I am not an experienced asp.net developer.

A while ago I created a website related to my other project, which
requires login before start.

I created a global.asax file, set the user name and a couple other
information as properties of global class. I get and display the user
name in each web page by calling Global.UserName.

I am assuming that the Global.UserName is remembered by session based.

When I log onto one machine as user1, it displays user1 in page 1
(good), then go to another machine to login as user2, come back to
machine1 and move the webpage to page 2, page2 displays user2 as the
user name (bad).

How do I remember the user name in session based? I also need to save
a global data structure (in a class) in session based, so I don't
think I can user Session["parameter name"] to do that.

Any good idea?

Thanks.

Linda,
No, global.UserName is *NOT* "remembered as Session-based" - its' static and
is the same to ALL users that use your application.

I think you should read up on Membership, Roles and Profiles in the
quickstarts before you get further off on the wrong foot. At least, you
aren't in the control tower..l
