Question

i have a logout [link button] in master page and i want to show it once the user logs in.
I did this way

protected void LoginAction_Click(object sender, EventArgse)
    {

    LinkButton btnSignout = (LinkButton)Master.FindControl("btnLogout");
        if (btnSignout != null)
        {
            btnSignout.visible=True;
        }

        Response.Redirect("home.aspx");
    }

Answer 1

just add LoginStatus in LoggedInTemplate control

 <LoggedInTemplate>
    <asp:LoginStatus ID="LoginStatus1" runat="server" OnLoggedOut="LoginStatus1_LoggedOut"                                             
    LogoutText="Sign Out" CssClass="linkLoginControls" />
 </LoggedInTemplate>

LoggedInTemplate will be visible when the user logged in
