In the login page a cast is made in the default method to turn the context user into an site identity. This relies on the page_load event in the base class turning the contect.user into a site principle.

It appears that the page_load event in the base class is not triggered until the page_load method of the webform has completed though. I can't see how this can be got round using the base page model.

There seem to be a few posts about this on the forum but no solution that I have been able to make work.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I think this is the issue discussed in the VB.NET porting document included with the VB.NET source code download.

Doc name = "Wrox Website Programming Book Notes.doc"

Look in the section "PhilePage Inheritance"

also check this section in the same document:
"Accounts.Web"

Thanks. I should have read that document more closer. Thats sorted it out completely
