Question

Trying to set up the Login control as a User control, but none of the controls exist in the current context? I also tried adding to a master page with the same error showing up.

None of my code below is recognised? What’s going on here please? I’ve rebuilt the solution many times.

if (Membership.ValidateUser(this.UserName.Text, this.Password.Text))
    {
        FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(UserName.Text, RememberMe.Checked);
    }
    else
    {
         Msg.Text = "Login failed. Please check your user name and password and try again.";
    }

Make sure you have used the proper namespaces and the System.Web assembly is referenced in your project:

• FormsAuthentication – defined in System.Web.Security namespace in the System.Web assembly
• Membership – defined in System.Web.Security namespace in the System.Web assembly
