Many web sites include username/password checking upon logon reserved for administrative use in one of the following:

(1) A username/password logon window appears immediately when the user accesses the site.

(2) The site would include on the main menu an administrative selection the user can click on to bring up the administrative logon window as described in (1).

Here's my question on (2): How can we program the page to display the administrative menu selection only for preselected user IP addresses and hide the menu item completely for all others?

Thanks for any contribution.

You could use an if...then statement, and check the IP address of the visitor.

Are we going to put the if... statement in the page load method?
Thanks.

That's where I'd put if, but that depends on your page design. If your menu is generated by a user control, put it there.
