Question

Never Mind it’s working now (have no idea why but that’s ok), and thank you everybody for your help

i have written a code that login users by email instead of username here it is :

 protected void eLogin(object sender, EventArgs e) //allowing users to login with email
{
    string uid = Membership.GetUserNameByEmail(mainLogin.UserName);
    mainLogin.UserName = null;
    mainLogin.UserName = uid;
}

and here is the login control:

<asp:Login ID="mainLogin" runat="server" Orientation="Horizontal" 
    RememberMeText="Remember me" TitleText="" 
    DestinationPageUrl="~/RedirectPage.aspx" 
    OnLoggingIn="eLogin"
     >
    <CheckBoxStyle CssClass="remBox" />
    <LoginButtonStyle CssClass="loginButton" />
    <TextBoxStyle CssClass="loginTextBox" />
</asp:Login>

but it will only work on localhost and not the actual hosting.
here is what goes wrong :Your login attempt was not successful. Please try again.

i am using asp.net 3.5, thanks in advance

Since you did not post your error, I can only guess that your Membership.GetUserNameByEmail is failing. Either your connection to a database is failing, or the user does not exist in the database to which you are connecting.
