I have a master page that holds
the loginview content that appears on all subsequent pages based on
the master page. i have a username
control also nested in
the loginview to display
the name of
the user when they are logged in.
the code for
the loginview from
the master page is displayed as follows:
<div class="loginView">
<asp:LoginView ID="MasterLoginView" runat="server">
<LoggedInTemplate>
Welcome <span class="bold"><asp:LoginName ID="HeadLoginName" runat="server" />
<asp:Label ID="userNameLabel" runat="server" Text="Label"></asp:Label></span>!
[ <asp:LoginStatus ID="HeadLoginStatus" runat="server" LogoutAction="Redirect" LogoutText="Log Out" LogoutPageUrl="~/Logout.aspx"/> ]
<%--Welcome:
<span class="bold"><asp:LoginName ID="MasterLoginName" runat="server" /> </span>!--%>
</LoggedInTemplate>
<AnonymousTemplate>
Welcome: Guest
[ <a href="~/Account/Login.aspx" ID="HeadLoginStatus" runat="server">Log In</a> ]
</AnonymousTemplate>
</asp:LoginView>
<%-- [ <asp:LoginStatus ID="MasterLoginStatus" runat="server" LogoutAction="Redirect" LogoutPageUrl="~/Logout.aspx" /> ] --%>
</div>
Since VS2010 launches with a default login page in
the accounts folder, i didnt think it necessary to create a separate log in page, so i just used
the same log in page. please find
the code for
the login
control below:
<asp:Login ID="LoginUser" runat="server" EnableViewState="false" RenderOuterTable="false">
<LayoutTemplate>
<span class="failureNotification">
<asp:Literal ID="FailureText" runat="server"></asp:Literal>
</span>
<asp:ValidationSummary ID="LoginUserValidationSummary" runat="server" CssClass="failureNotification"
ValidationGroup="LoginUserValidationGroup"/>
<div class="accountInfo">
<fieldset class="login">
<legend style="text-align:left; font-size:1.2em; color:White;">Account Information</legend>
<p style="text-align:left; font-size:1.2em; color:White;">
<asp:Label ID="UserNameLabel" runat="server" AssociatedControlID="UserName">User ID:</asp:Label>
<asp:TextBox ID="UserName" runat="server" CssClass="textEntry"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="UserNameRequired" runat="server" ControlToValidate="UserName"
CssClass="failureNotification" ErrorMessage="User ID is required." ToolTip="User ID field is required."
ValidationGroup="LoginUserValidationGroup">*</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
</p>
<p style="text-align:left; font-size:1.2em; color:White;">
<asp:Label ID="PasswordLabel" runat="server" AssociatedControlID="Password">Password:</asp:Label>
<asp:TextBox ID="Password" runat="server" CssClass="passwordEntry"
TextMode="Password"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:RequiredFieldValidator ID="PasswordRequired" runat="server" ControlToValidate="Password"
CssClass="failureNotification" ErrorMessage="Password is required." ToolTip="Password is required."
ValidationGroup="LoginUserValidationGroup">*</asp:RequiredFieldValidator>
</p>
<p style="text-align:left; font-size:1.2em; color:White;">
<asp:CheckBox ID="RememberMe" runat="server"/>
<asp:Label ID="RememberMeLabel" runat="server" AssociatedControlID="RememberMe" CssClass="inline">Keep me logged in</asp:Label>
</p>
</fieldset>
<p class="submitButton">
<asp:Button ID="LoginButton" runat="server" CommandName="Login" Text="Log In"
ValidationGroup="LoginUserValidationGroup" onclick="LoginButton_Click"/>
</p>
</div>
</LayoutTemplate>
</asp:Login>
I then wrote my own code for authentication since i had my own database.
the following displays
the code in
the login buttons click event.:
public partial class Login : System.Web.UI.Page
{
//create string objects
string userIDStr, pwrdStr;
protected void LoginButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//assign textbox items to string objects
userIDStr = LoginUser.UserName.ToString();
pwrdStr = LoginUser.Password.ToString();
//SQL connection string
string strConn;
strConn = WebConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["CMSSQL3ConnectionString"].ConnectionString;
SqlConnection Conn = new SqlConnection(strConn);
//SqlDataSource CSMDataSource = new SqlDataSource();
// CSMDataSource.ConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["CMSSQL3ConnectionString"].ToString();
//SQL select statement for comparison
string sqlUserData;
sqlUserData = "SELECT StaffID, StaffPassword, StaffFName, StaffLName, StaffType FROM Staffs";
sqlUserData += " WHERE (StaffID ='" + userIDStr + "')";
sqlUserData += " AND (StaffPassword ='" + pwrdStr + "')";
SqlCommand com = new SqlCommand(sqlUserData, Conn);
SqlDataReader rdr;
string usrdesc;
string lname;
string fname;
string staffname;
try
{
//string CurrentData;
//CurrentData = (string)com.ExecuteScalar();
Conn.Open();
rdr = com.ExecuteReader();
rdr.Read();
usrdesc = (string)rdr["StaffType"];
fname = (string)rdr["StaffFName"];
lname = (string)rdr["StaffLName"];
staffname = lname.ToString() + " " + fname.ToString();
LoginUser.UserName = staffname.ToString();
rdr.Close();
if (usrdesc.ToLower() == "administrator")
{
Response.Redirect("~/CaseAdmin.aspx", false);
}
else if (usrdesc.ToLower() == "manager")
{
Response.Redirect("~/CaseManager.aspx", false);
}
else if (usrdesc.ToLower() == "investigator")
{
Response.Redirect("~/Investigator.aspx", false);
}
else
{
Response.Redirect("~/Default.aspx", false);
}
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
string script = "<script>alert('" + ex.Message + "');</script>";
}
finally
{
Conn.Close();
}
}
My authentication works perfectly and
the page gets redirected to
the designated destination. However,
the login view
does not display
the users name. i actually cant figure out how to pass
the users name that i had picked from
the database to
the login name
control to be displayed.
taking a close look i also noticed
the logout text that should be displayed after successful log in
does not show. that leaves me wondering if
the loggedin template
control on
the masterpage even fires at all or its still
the anonymous template
control that keeps displaying.?
How do i get this to work as expected? Please help....
