Hi everyone,

Is there a way I can logout a currently-logged-in user programmatically?

I have a CreateUserWizard. After the user chooses a username and pwd, I need the user to be logged in so that his/her profile information can be saved. But after all his/her profile info is updated in the database, I want to log the user out.

Thanks in advance for the help. 

When a user is logged in there is a FormsAuthentication Cookie set with their current set of roles.  You should just be able to delete the cookie which will effectively log the person out.

 Let me know how you get on.

Thanks for your reply.

CreateUserWizard automatically logs in the user (I guess LoginCreatedUser is implicitly set to true). HOw do I delete the FormsAuthentication cookie?

Thanks for the help.

Thanks shados. Your solution worked.

Sorry, I was writing out my post when you sent your 1st reply. Didn't see it until after I had posted.

A better way to do this is to change the LoginCreatedUser Property to false.  Especially if you're using the control for an admin account to create new users in your Web app (Otherwise, you would unexpectedly logout whenever you add users).  Hope that helps.
