passing variables

hi,

When my user logs on they suppy a username thats checked off a db to allow access. This username is the unique identifier for all queries that are run throughout the access. What is the best way to pass this between pages. I will have a number of clients accessing at the same time. The variable is a six character alphanumeric.

any ideas will be accepted gratefully....oh security is a key issue as i dont want users getting access to eachothers identifier.

Compilation Error

Compiler Error Message: BC30451: Name 'sourcepage' is not declared.

Source Error:

Line 15:
Line 16: If Not IsPostBack Then
Line 17: sourcepage = CType(Context.Handler, logon)
Line 18: dim strUserName as string = sourcepage.Username
Line 19: mydatagrid.Visible = False

tia pec
Declare sourcepage, then use it!

Ex: Dim sourcepage As PreviousPage

In this case PreviousPage is the first page reference name!

That could solve your problem!

Password and confirm password fields

Hi all.
I need to develop simple web page with username and password definition. When page is reloaded while onserwer integrity check, password and confirm password fields are erased. How can I prevent it?that is what normally happens, its a security issue, that the password field is to be emptied when page is reloaded.

regards.
But how can I over fit it? I saw pages when you chose region, for example, and turn to data base to get cities (reloading) but password field stay the same it was before.
Hello, try to enable ViewState for the current server control.

regards.
Opps posted wrong code sorry!!

password attempts

have a username and opassword text boxes and one login button. When I
type password it checks three times weather my username and password
is correct or not. After 3 failed attempts it gives me message that
Notify your administrator.
I used form Authnication. How can I count weather user attempts 3
times. My username and password is stored in databaseThe easiest way is to set up a session variable and increment:
if(failedLogin)
Session("failedAttempts") = int.Parse(Session("FailedAttempts")) + 1;
You can then disable the account in the database when this hits three and
any time they try to log in after that kicks them.
A more full method is to have failed attempts in the database and increment
each time they fail, reset to 0 if succesful. If you like this model, the
easiest way to get it is to use the ASP.NET built in membership model. It
automatically does this for you.
