Hi, I am developing a site using the book ASP.NET.2.0.Website.Programming.Problem.Design.Sol ution and i also have the source code. Now i reached at the Newsletter module, my problem is that, on my site when i clicked at the "Archived Newsletter" link placed at the newsletter control box, it directs me towards the archived newsletter page without checking that the user is logged in or not. But when i run the sample site named as "The Beer House", and click on the Archived Newsletter link, placed in the Newsletter control box, it checks that the user is logged in or not. And if the user is not logged in, it gives a warnning/message that in order to view the newsletters, u have to logged in or you must be a registerd user. I copy/paste the same code (for my site's newsletter control box) given in the sample site and matched it many times, they both are same. But my site's Archived Newsletter link placed in the newsletter control box is not working in this way. I'm not good in programming thats why i am facing difficulty to figure out that where the developer wrote, the code to implement this functionality. Can anybody helps me!!!! I define my problem as i could, and even then if anyone don't understand my problem then ask me, i will try to elaborate it further.

And sorry for bad english!!! :(

Hi,

First of all, this book is not intended for people who have no development background. You should start by learning asp.net before reading this book. You should use it to get an idea of a particular architecture for building a website.

To answer your question, look in the code behind of archivednewsletters.aspx.cs
there should be this line
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {
         // check whether this page can be accessed by anonymous users. If not, and if the
         // current user is not authenticated, redirect to the login page
         if (!this.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated && !Globals.Settings.Newsletters.ArchiveIsPublic)
            this.RequestLogin();

that checks the identity of the user

The code you have mentioned is already written there, but it is not checking the authentication. And it allows the user to view archived newslettters without being signed in. In other words, if the user is not logged in and he/she clicked on the Archived Newsletter's link in the Newsletter Control Box, it directs the user towards the archived newsletter.aspx page. Any other solution or suggestion?
