Hi, I've read through this books chapters regarding membership, roles, and authentication and I'm having a little problem conceptualizing what I need to do. I'm creating a website with a three month student membership, and on the ninetieth day i would like them to login but get redirected to a renewal into an alumni role with year long memberships. I think I'm looking to call the CreateDate property in the DB and compare it with date.time(now) or something of the like. I would really appreciate a in depth walkthrough of how to code and or implement this. Thank you so much for taking the time to reply hope someone can connect the dots for me. (I almost had an idea with calling strong types from the profileprovider but dont know how to get a createdate in there :) Very Very new to this type of development)

Hi there,

An in-depth walkthrough is a bit too much, but here's a general process description:

1. Create a Profile property of type DateTime
2. Handle the LoggedIn event of the Login control
3. Create an instance of the Profile using Profile.Create and pass in the User Name of the Login control
4. Use DateTime.Compare (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...e.compare.aspx) and see if the user account has expired
5. Redirect if necessary.

You'll find more information and examples of the various events, controls and properties on the MSDN web site.

Hope this helps,

Imar
