why using ticket not formauth.setauth? more secure?or maybe i read wrong?
:)
i think formauth.setauth is concern with configure web.config manually right?

sorry again if i miss understand

FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie is a short cur to the stuff I showed you. It's easier to use, because all it needs is a username, a bool indicating the persistence, and optionally a cookie path.

Internally, I assume this method does more or less the same as my code. However, with my code, you have the ability to store additional UserData. In most of my (commercial) intranet sites, I store the User's GUID encrypted in this UserData part of the ticket, so it's easy to retrieve the UserID later on in the site.

Take a look here for more info: ms-help://MS.VSCC.2003/MS.MSDNQTR.2003FEB.1033/cpref/html/frlrfsystemwebsecurityformsauthenticationclassseta uthcookietopic2.htm

thanks..i check it later..now i'm going to sleep it's 1.40 am at my country
cu

i want to ask again :)

i have data grid at my form and got its datasource from sqldatareader
coz i read in the book that use datareader instead dataadapter
for better server performance

what i want to ask is how to get allow sort and paging with data grid
eventhough i alreadt make allowpaging and allow sorting properties to
true

i come up with error
"AllowCustomPaging must be true and VirtualItemCount must
be set for a DataGrid with ID dgShowroom when AllowPaging is set to
true and the selected datasource does not implement ICollection."

and if i get allow custom paging check in datagrid property builder
i don't get the error but my datagrid can't paging coz at the footer
just have "1" for the paging not "1 2 3 ..."

if i have to change to dataset for paging and sorting that i should
rebuild my coding from scratch again..
is there anyway to fix this?
and how to sort the datagrid?

thanks
