Question

I’m looking to create a very simple Logout page but falling at the first hurdle.

Here’s my current Login page if it helps:
http://pastebin.com/2xJH1DnT

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   RegisterHyperLink.NavigateUrl = "Register.aspx?ReturnUrl=" + 
         HttpUtility.UrlEncode(Request.QueryString["ReturnUrl"]);
}

I tried initially using FormsAuthentication.SignOut(); in my logout CodeBehind but kept getting the error:

CS0103: The name ‘FormsAuthentication’ does not exist in the current context

How can I implement a log-out feature?

Answer 1

which errors did you get? The right way should be:

FormsAuthentication.SignOut()
FormsAuthentication.RedirectToLoginPage()

this applied if you are using Forms Authentication of course.
