hi all,

how can i set the application, so that once the user get signed in, he should be signed in until he sign out.?
ie, after signing in the login screen should not display until he sign out.
now what is the situation is, he places order, it ask for username and passowrd, he signs in, and then again if he do somemore shopping and added the products to his cart, and hit Place order button, it again asks for username and password.

in the sign in button i have used this
  FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(txtuser. Text, Persistent.Checked)

still it ask for sign in!!!

how can i avoid this?
hope someone shares their idea!!!

thanks to p2p forum members

Sounds like a logic problem;

Try this instead:

if(User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
{
   //dont display login screen
}
else
{
  //display login screen
}

hi

i tried ur logic, and my modified code is below. but its not getting redirected to the login page or the default page, when i hit the button for placing order, instead the values are lost from the cart.

 Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click

        Dim ds As New DataSet
        ds = ShoppingCart.shopcart.GetAll(Session.SessionID)

        If (ds.Tables(0).Rows.Count = 0) Then

            Response.Redirect("EmptyPage.aspx")


            If (User.Identity.IsAuthenticated) Then

                          Response.Redirect("default.aspx")

            Else


                Response.Redirect("login.aspx")


            End If
        End If

    End Sub

hi there..

try with server.transfer instead of response.redirect...

sorry Mr.Gonzalo, its also not working

there has to be another problem here.. maybe with the configuration of the application...
are you using the standard login controls??
b/c when you login in the session should remain logged...

hi, the code which i using to get the userid as return for the storedprocedure, by supplying username and password is below.

please have a look at this, and suggest where have i gone wrong?

 Private Sub Button2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
        If LoginUser(txtuser.Text, txtpass.Text) Then

            'FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(txtuser .Text, False)
            FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(txtuser. Text, Persistent.Checked)


        Else
            lblmessage.Text = "Invalid login credentials, try again!!!"

        End If


    End Sub


    Function LoginUser(ByVal struser As String, ByVal strpass As String) As Boolean

        Dim con As New SqlConnection("")

        Dim mycmd As New SqlCommand("spLoginUser", con)

        mycmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure

        'adding parameters to stored procedure

        Dim P1 As SqlParameter = New SqlParameter("@UserName", SqlDbType.VarChar)
        P1.Value = struser
        mycmd.Parameters.Add(P1)

        Dim P2 As SqlParameter = New SqlParameter("@Password", SqlDbType.VarChar)
        P2.Value = strpass
        mycmd.Parameters.Add(P2)


        Try
            con.Open()
            Dim userid As Integer
            userid = mycmd.ExecuteScalar
            Session("UserID") = userid


            If userid = 0 Then

                Return 0

            Else
                Return userid

            End If

        Catch ex As Exception

            Response.Write("Error in connecting, try later")

        Finally
            If con.State = ConnectionState.Open Then
                con.Close()

            End If

        End Try

    End Function

hi there.. you are not using User.Identity to login the user, you have your own controls for it... replace that with Session("UserID") <> 0 and try now...

one more question, this session("USerID") will get generated only after first the user get signed in.then for the first time, how can i go to login page?
because this button2_clcik is coded in the page just beofre the login page(where the shopping cart is displayed)
from there if the user clicks for placing order(button2) it gets redirected to login page.

am i confusing everyone??? i am sorry for that

Again this seems like a logic problem; by design, as far as Forms Authentication goes, once a user logs in they will stay logged in either until the browser window is closed, the user deletes the cookie that your application creates, or after 50 years have passed (depending on what value you pass to the bool argument).


This code is also poorly wrote:

     Dim ds As New DataSet
        ds = ShoppingCart.shopcart.GetAll(Session.SessionID)

        If (ds.Tables(0).Rows.Count = 0) Then

            Response.Redirect("EmptyPage.aspx")


            If (User.Identity.IsAuthenticated) Then

                         Response.Redirect("default.aspx")

            Else

            
                Response.Redirect("login.aspx")


            End If
        End If

It should be something like

     Dim ds As New DataSet
        ds = ShoppingCart.shopcart.GetAll(Session.SessionID)
        If (ds.Tables(0).Rows.Count = 0) Then
         Response.Redirect("EmptyPage.aspx")
         Exit Sub
        Else
            If (User.Identity.IsAuthenticated) Then Response.Redirect("default.aspx")
            Else: Response.Redirect("login.aspx")
            End If
        End If

If your dataset is empty the user being logged in is a moot point.

IMHO, I think the logic you are using for your application is weird and am having a hard time figuring out what you are doing.
