Custom Login Control

[Bob Ross]

I am trying to build a custom login control.
I have two text boxes and a button.
The OnClick of the button creates a new instance of the membership provider and calls validate user which checks the username and password etc... and returns true or false.
The trouble is although it does all the custom authentication that I set it to, it never informs ASP.net that the user is logged in.
By that I mean I still cannot access pages that aren't open to the public.
And the HTTPContext.user.IsAuthenticated is still false.

how can I acutally get it to tell ASP.Net that it is authenticated and set Context.User.IsAuthenticated is true?

Sorry this is a bit muddled but not really sure what I am doing.

Have you thought about using a session variable to indicate if that user(browser) is authorized to view the private pages?

I would rather use the built in system for doing.
I ahev already made the site and everything works fien but I want to use my own custom login control so juts need to work how to do that.
