Question

I have a asp.net web application, that allows users to login and logout. When a user logs in (no problem) its says Welcome Username, which is fine. But next to it still says login. Can anyone help me is there some property i need to set on Logged in? Thanks for any help.

<asp:LoginView ID="HeadLoginView" runat="server" EnableViewState="false">
                    <AnonymousTemplate>
                        [ <a href="~/Account/Login.aspx" id="HeadLoginStatus" runat="server">Log In</a>
                        ]
                    </AnonymousTemplate>
                    <LoggedInTemplate>
                        <span class="bold">Welcome</span><span class="bold">
                            <asp:LoginName ID="HeadLoginName" runat="server" />
                        </span>! [
                        <asp:LoginStatus ID="HeadLoginStatus" runat="server" LogoutAction="Redirect" LogoutText="Log Out"
                            LogoutPageUrl="~/" />
                        ]
                    </LoggedInTemplate>
                </asp:LoginView>

protected void LoginUser_Authenticate(object sender, AuthenticateEventArgs e)
    {
       SqlHelper userLogin = new SqlHelper();
        TextBox User = (TextBox) LoginUser.FindControl("UserName");
        TextBox Password = (TextBox) LoginUser.FindControl("Password");
        bool results = userLogin.UserLogin(User.Text, Password.Text);
        e.Authenticated = results;
    }

Answer 1

You have two controls with an ID of HeadLoginStatus. Is there a reason for that? Secondly, have you tried removing EnableViewState=”false”?

EDIT

Try changing the startup page to a page in the root directory, if it’s not already. See if this makes any difference.

I seemed to have found the problem..or a solution depending on how you
view it.

I had my startup page set to a page in a sub directory and not in the
root. I changed the startup page to be a page in the root (which is
where login.aspx exists) and now it works as expected. I do not think
it should have acted like this though.
