How do I get the LoginStatus for ASP.Net MVC? I can connect and authenticate on MVC, but I am not sure how to get the LoginStatus, can anyone help?

When you create a new MVC project, the csproj template creates a partial view called ‘LoginUserControl’, located at ~/Views/Shared/LoginUserControl.ascx.

This view has the following logic, which renders different text depending on whether or not the current user is logged in:

<%     if (Request.IsAuthenticated) { %>         Welcome <b><%= Html.Encode(Page.User.Identity.Name) %></b>!         [ <%= Html.ActionLink('Logout', 'Logout', 'Account') %> ] <%     }     else { %>          [ <%= Html.ActionLink('Login', 'Login', 'Account') %> ] <%     } %>
