Payal, I wouldn't serve as librarian to many people... you owe me a beer!
:-)

Pages 163 to 168 of the C# edition should give you the basics of what you
need.  I don't have the VB edition which I've heard exists somewhere.  The
information is in Chapter 8, sub-section entitled "Forms Authentication".

Payal, you have more work to do - not a lot! - to make Forms Authentication
work as you expect.  A few lines of code in your Global.asax file are
required to persist an authentication ticket and (if you want it) a
principal object that represents the authenticated user.

Microsoft MSDN publishes a free 600-page document entitled "Building Secure
ASP.NET Applications" which provides unusually (for MS) clear step-by-step
methods with code for securing applications in a wide range of situations.
Don't be daunted by its size, it includes much repetition of steps for
various situations.  Highly recommended.

I am having a problem using forms authetication..
when i add this block
<authentication mode="Forms">

    <forms name = "AdGeneratorCookie" loginUrl = "User/login.aspx"
protection = "All" path = "/">

    </forms>

    </authentication>
    <authorization>
    <deny users= "?"></deny>
    </authorization>

everytime i hit login it enter the next page but from there onwards if i
click a link it always sends me back to the login page... for eg: I have the
login page... after i login it sends me to the contents page ... But from
the contents page when i click on a link.. it sends me back to the login
page... why is this happening... I have reviewed a whole lot of code and i
think its because of the "path"


the way my website is set up is that login and a few pages are under a
Folder user in the root dir.

how do i set up the authentication

this is the code in my login.aspx page

if(chkCookie.Checked == true)
Response.Cookies["Login"].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddMonths(1);
FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(usrDetails.strLogin,
chkCookie.Checked);
