Hi all,

I'm developing a fairly simple web application in ASP .NET 2.0,

I have a problem with the displaying of the master page, the following is what i'm trying to do:

I have the masterpage set and CSS and I created a folder which contains a page or "section" of the website that will require the user to login to access, I set permissions for "anonymous user" to deny and the login page is called successfully, but after logging in, the content of the page that is called but the masterpage "theme-ing" or "template" doesn't show, so i am left with a white background, the menu and content,Thats it. But if i move the aspx page to the website root, it displays correctly, but then i am unable to deny access to that specific page, the problem that occurs when I move it to the root, is, that I have to log in, in order to view the whole site.

I basically want to allow all users to view most of the site, but only "allowed" users with login details to view a particular page, which makes sense to store it in a separate directory and set permissions for it there. I double checked that the page is referencing the masterpage, but still no luck.

Any ideas of how to achieve this?

Much thanks

Not sure what the problem you're having is. Why don't you include some code so we can help you better.

Any luck on this? I am having the exact same problem. Everything is good until I login, then all the pages that are called from my secure directory are missing the images and color formating of the master page, the controls seem to work with no issue.

Hi there,

Take a look here: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archi...31/437027.aspx

Maybe you're blocking access to the CSS and image files as well?

Yes I did get it to work...Here is how I did it,

1. First things first, make sure your CSS for the masterpage/site
    is in the site's root directory...

2. Now run the ASP .NET Configuration Wizard
   (Goto Website->ASP .NET Configuration)

3. Click the Security Tab and set the access rules to the site as
   follows->Allow all users and roles to access the root directory,
   Allow the users/roles to the "secure" directory and deny anonymous
   users.
To solve the images problem:

if you are setting the image in the CSS file, make sure that you specifically set the height and width to whatever the image size is
and that should solve the problem.

NB: The above worked for me, hope it does for you. :)

Another thing to remember is that with ASP .NET, it can be very fussy when it comes to placing certain files in the right places, I learnt that the hard way.

Hope I was of help.

Ciao
