Hi,

I have a login page which uses the login control, works great.

I need to manually trigger Login Control Authenticate event,

I have tried running the Login1_Authenticate at Page_Load but it does not work:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {

//...

AuthenticateEventArgs auth = new AuthenticateEventArgs(); //probably this is wrong

Login1_Authenticate(Login1, auth);

//...

}

Also I do not know how to manually set the username and password of the Login control in code-behind, as it is only a get property.

My issue is to let user to pass in the encrypted username and password by querystring. (This is via an affiliate link from another site)

The login page then decrypt it and authencated user automatcally without clicking on the Ok/Submit button in the Login Control.

Any Ideas? Thanks in Advanced.

You cannot update the Username using the default membership provider once the Username is set, using CreateUser(). However, there is nothing to prevent you from writing your own methods, or custom membership provider, that would allow you to do this.  Also, it sounds like your authentication method is going to be a custom application as well.  I would get familiar with the membership provider and the ASP.NET provider model:

 I hope this helps!
 

Hi there,

 I have used the Login Control and am able to connect to the sql database and display name using LoginName control. Just one problem, instead of displaying the user's First Name which is a field in the database, the LoginName is displaying the userid which was used to login. How do I change that? Any quick suggestionswould be greatly appreciated.

 Thanks.

 You just answered on a question that was asked more than a year ago! DO you really think they're still waiting for an answer!

And by the way, how do you know that they're using OleDb?
