Hi all,
I've created a master page having two tabs one for home and other on for info(called About). By default Home page is shown. Their is link for login in master page which takes user to login page. Its not generic login control of .Net framework. On master page there are controls like Login label(ref link to login page), Login name(name of who logged in) and log out link.
At first log out and login name is not visible. Once user logs in these 2 controls would be visible and login control hidden. On successful login i am directing to About.aspx page where i've written the code to make these control visible. But when i click on the home link of they become invisible and Login control becomes visible.
So what i need to do is i need to hide login link button on successful login and login name and logout link button to make visible.
But it should be consistent throughout the application. As i've written the code on About.aspx page it is working for that page only why not for other pages? Is it master page n content page life cycle events? Or I need to make that code as function and run it for every other page in the application containing that master page?

Thanks in advance.

hey,
one way to control this scenario is (if i have understod the question correctly) that make a session variable. when the user logs in successfully pass the ID of the user to the session. and on the Load event of each page set the propoerty of the controls to hidden.

e.g.

if(SuccessfullLogin)
{
Session["LoggedInUserID"]=ID;
}
else
{
Session["LoggedInUserID]="";
}

then on the Load event of each page

if(String.IsNullorEmpty(Session["LoggedInUserID"].ToString()))
{
Label objLabel =(Label)Master.FindControl("LabelLogin");
objLabel.Visible=True;
}
else
{
Label objLabel =(Label)Master.FindControl("LabelLogin");
objLabel.Visible=False;
}

Hope it will give you the idea.
Best of luck

One way of acheiving this is like this:

Have the property or function defined in master page.In your child page,you write as below

<%@ MasterType VirtualPath="~/Site1.Master" %>

And to call the property/function of the master page,from child pages do as below

Master.Property or Master.Function()
