i have created custom login page..

in which i am validating a user like below :

C#

if (Membership.ValidateUser(txt_email.Text, txt_password.Text))
             {
                 FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(txt_email.Text, cmb_remeber.Checked);

             }

It is working fine. but what i actually want is if user is validated succesfully then user should go in logged in state... And loginStatus control should show Logout. it is being validated successfully but loginstatus is not go in loggedIn state..

what to do to achieve this???

To check if a user is already logged in using forms authetication, try HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated.

C#

if(HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
{
    //Do stuff
}

If you are using forms authentication, you will need to sign in first. Only then, you can check for login state.

Check the LoginText and LogoutText property of LoginStatus control.

Why don't you use LoginStatus[^] !

Quote:
The LoginStatus control displays a login link for users who are not authenticated and a logout link for users who are authenticated. The login link takes the user to a login page. The logout link resets the current user's identity to be an anonymous user.
