Question

In Controllers/AccountController.cs:

public class AccountController : Controller
{
    //
    // GET: /Account/Login
    public ActionResult Login()
    {
        return View();
    }
    ...
}

In web.config:

<authentication mode="Forms">
  <forms loginUrl="~/Account/Login" defaultUrl="~/Home/Index" name=".ASPXFORMSAUTH"/>
</authentication>
<authorization>
  <deny users="?"/>
</authorization>

In Views/Account/Login.aspx:

<script runat="server" type="text/C#">
    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {...}
    protected void OnAuthenticate(object sender, AuthenticateEventArgs e) {...}
    protected void OnLoggedIn(object sender, EventArgs e){...}
    protected void OnLoginError(object sender, EventArgs e){...}
</script>

...

<asp:Login ID="login1" runat="server" 
           DestinationPageUrl="~/Views/Home/Index.aspx"
           OnAuthenticate="OnAuthenticate" 
           OnLoggedIn="OnLoggedIn" 
           OnLoginError="OnLoginError">
    ...
    <asp:Button ID="loginButton" runat="server" CommandName="Login1" Text="Login" ValidationGroup="login1" TabIndex="4" />
    ...
</asp:Login>

Page_Load is called, but then OnAuthenticate, OnLoggedIn, and OnLoginError are never called. Why is that?

I am using MVC, and what happens after clicking the “Login” button is I am taken back to the AccountController. This returns the Login.aspx View, so the login page just gets reloaded.

Answer 1

I ended up re-writing everything from scratch, using Razor instead of ASPX.
I don’t know how I could have fixed the issue in this question, and I took a completely different approach.
