VB code, VS2003. I have followed the book up thru where modules begins and integrated into my existing website. I believe my problems started when I added the "philepage" to my homepage and now every time I hit the F5 it errors out on the line " If CONTEXT.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated Then" by saying this is not an object. Somehow this line worked on my homepage, but now it is not recognized.

Any suggestions on how I can trace the compiler? I don't know exactly where it is falling apart.

HELP! Thanx, Tom.

Hi Tom -

You may want to go to the codebehind pages of the .aspx pages (hit F7 in Visual Studio), scroll down to the section called "Web Form Designer generated code" (usually collapsed) and check that OnInit(EventArgs e) looks like this:

override protected void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
  base.OnInit(e);
  InitializeComponent();
}

Make sure that base.OnInit(e) is above InitializeComponent() so that the Phile "page base" is called first. See if this works.

Thanx for idea. I have in fact resolved this by correcting an error in NEW() event in the siteidentity.vb page. I commented it out until I could understand what was happening. Now I know. Issue closed, thanx, Tom.
