siteprincipal

I am trying to only allow the the Default web page to be viewed by authenticated users. I also want to grab a few of the fields from the Users Details and cutomize the Default page:

I added to the Sub Page_Load

Code:

 If Not (TypeOf Context.User Is SitePrincipal) Then

                Response.Redirect("/ARSurvey/Webmodules/Accounts/Login.aspx")
            Else

                lblGreeting.Text = context.User.Identity.Name
            End If

If I use the check for context.user.identity.isauthenticated check then instead of my is siteprincipal check then I can view the page. The problem comes in when I attempt to pull user details using

Code:

  Dim currentUser As New AccBusiness.User( _
                      CType(Context.User, SitePrincipal))

I get a cast error.

What am I missing, why can I use the CType(context.user.... in the MyAccounts page but when I use it in Default I get a cast error.

I just do can not figure out what I am missing here.
