I have created a simple MVC application that is using the .Net Membership Provider that is supplied with the new project.
I am trying to get the tabs to show correctly. I might not understand this right but here’s my code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>@ViewBag.Title</title>
<link href="@Url.Content("~/Content/Site.css")" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery-1.5.1.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="page">
<div id="header">
<div id="title">
<h1>Suburban Customer Portal</h1>
</div>
<div id="logindisplay">
@Html.Partial("_LogOnPartial")
</div>
<div id="menucontainer">
<ul id="menu">
@if (Request.IsAuthenticated)
{
<li>@Html.ActionLink("ChangePassword", "ChangePassword", "Account")</li>
}else {
<li>@Html.ActionLink("Logon", "Logon", "Account")</li>
<li>@Html.ActionLink("Register", "Register", "Account")</li>
}
<li>@Html.ActionLink("ContactUs", "ContactUs", "Home")</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div id="main">
@RenderBody()
</div>
<div id="footer">
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
At this line:
@if (Request.IsAuthenticated)
I am trying to show the right tabs pending on if they are already authenticated. This is always coming out as true…
How should I be doing this? I apparently am not doing it the right way…
Thanks again!
I think you should use
@if(User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
