Log user in

[Andrew Banks]

Using forms authentication in C# I usually use
FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage to log a user in as follows

FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(id,false );

How can I log a user in without re-directing them somewhere else? I simply
want to log the in and then run some other code without re-directing them.

I've tried .SetAuthCookie(id,false) but this doesn't seem to work.

Any ideas?

SetAuthCookie will set an Auth cookie for the next request, i.e. cookie will
be sent with the response. This way you can't use User.Identity to get an
information about just logged in user without receiving a new request with
the new Auth cookie just set - you need to use your own mechanism.

Sorry Viktor, I don't fully understand what you are saying.

Can anyone give an example of how I can log a user in without using
RedirectFromLoginPage?

Thanks
