AUTH_USER blank when using HttpContext.Cur rent

I have an application that uses Forms Authentication in connection with
Active Directory for granting access to an application. When a user logs on
with AD, it populates the AUTH_USER ServerVariable and I can then use:

Request.ServerV eriables["AUTH_USER"]

to retrieve the value of this variable or any other value in the
ServerVariableC ollection.
A problem occurs when from an external class reference I use the following

HttpContext.Cur rent.Request.Se rverVeraibes["AUTH_USER"]

The value is always blank. If Im requesting the Current context of the
application referring the class, why is it blank. Other server values in the
ServerVariable collection are accessible both internal and externally. Why
not this one? If I request the variable both before creating the external
class reference and after its completed, its there.

I am trying to use AUTH_USER from request.servervariables but the field is blank. I am using Windoze server 2003 with IIS5.

Hi gang, This one looks like a bug :o( As you may or may not know, setting session management in web.config to use cookieless sessions causes the ASP.NET runtime to munge a session ID into the URL, in the format http://yourapplicationpath/(Session.SessionID)/... which saves numerous headaches when it comes to storing state across page requests and sessions.

Today I learned that creating cookies inside of a custom class in ASP.NET 2.0 requires that you prefix it with HttpContext.Current..., e.g. : HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies.Add("myNewCookie"); I am wondering if there are any landmines that I should know about, or if this will work pretty much as I am expecting a cookie should.

I've been following the "ASP.NET Custom Error Pages" article (http://www.aspnetresources.com/articles/CustomErrorPages.aspx), but when I implement either subscribing to base.Error or overriding base.OnError an empty page is returned to the client browser.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
