I have a problem, this piece of code gives me a type Casting error and i dont know why!??

Dim ID As SiteIdentity = CType(Context.User.Identity, SiteIdentity)

Please Help!

Rob

That's because the User.Identity cannot be casted to SiteIdentity. Try to set a pointer and you will see that the type of User.Identity is FormsIdentity and not SiteIdentity. This is something that many people experince, the principal gets lost somehow...

I'm one of those who has the same problem as RM28. Is there a solution to this problem?

Thanks.

Casting errors of the identity or principal objects are almost always caused by a problem in your base page, or your failure the ensure the base init event gets called at the right time in your .aspx pages.

It's hard to determine the exact situation for each person without going through your code in Visual Studio. You should take your time and makes sure your code is right and your projects are set up right.
