Question

I am creating a login and the storing the user details in a cookie using this code

if (ValidateUser(txtUserName.Value,txtUserPass.Value) )
{
   //string useremail = Convert.ToString(txtUserName.Value);
   Session.Add("useremail", txtUserName.Value);
   FormsAuthenticationTicket tkt;
   string cookiestr;
   HttpCookie ck;
   tkt = new FormsAuthenticationTicket(1, txtUserName.Value, DateTime.Now, 
     DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(30), chkPersistCookie.Checked, "your custom data");
   cookiestr = FormsAuthentication.Encrypt(tkt);
   ck = new HttpCookie(FormsAuthentication.FormsCookieName, cookiestr);
   if (chkPersistCookie.Checked)
     ck.Expires=tkt.Expiration; 
   ck.Path = FormsAuthentication.FormsCookiePath; 
   Response.Cookies.Add(ck);
}

I am also creating a session Session.Add(“useremail”, txtUserName.Value);
After succesfull authentication it is redirected to user.aspx
I want to read the useremail value in the user.aspx page but when I tried to access the value in the user page it is not showing useremail field.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if
            (Session["useremail"] == null) Response.Redirect("Home.aspx");
        else

            BindGridView(useremail);
    }

And this is my webconfig:

<authentication mode="Forms"><forms name=".YAFNET_Authentication" loginUrl="Home.aspx" protection="All" timeout="43200" cookieless="UseCookies"/></authentication>

Correct me if i am doing any wrong. And also please tell me how to pass the useremail value to the user.aspx page so that I can pass that value to gridview function

Answer 1

Just change it to

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (Session["useremail"] == null)
            Response.Redirect("Home.aspx");
        else
            BindGridView((string)Session["useremail"]);
    }
