Question

I’m using default ASP.NET user controls and SQL user provider.

How can I log somewhere when users login to web and when logout ?

Is there some tricks for it or just write to some .log file manually each time after user login. (Also , how can I check user IP adress ?)

Thank you.

The ASP.NET Login control has a LoggedIn event that you can add a handler for that does whatever you like, such as log it somewhere. Similarly, the LoginStatus control has a LoggedOut event.

The User IP address is available using the HttpContext: HttpContext.Current.Request.UserHostAddress; or HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"];
