Securing website without using default DB but using FormsAuthentication

Ok, Im so excited to have finally figured this out. Many times a programmer is going to want to give access to certain folders in their site but not want to use the default database that comes with VS.

so here's the code

//check if they login to database or xml file, the 1st 2 lines of code will be you connecting to
//DB and then determining what that users Status should be.

Login Login1 = (Login)LoginView1.FindControl("Login1");
if ((Login1.UserName == "test") && (Login1.Password == "pass"))
{

if (Request.QueryString["ReturnUrl"] != null)
{
FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage("admin", false);
//if my DB says they are admin then i make them an admin and redirect to page they where
//trying to access
}
else
{
//if my DB says they are admin then i make them an admin and redirect to default.aspx
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie("admin", false);
Response.Redirect("default.aspx");
}
}
else
{
//login from DB or XML failed
}

heres the web.config file placed in folder u want to protect i had to take out tags cause blog doesn't like them. deal with it

system.web
authorization
allow users="admin"/
deny users="*" /
/authorization
/system.web

using roles and logins

protected void CreateUserWizard1_CreatedUser(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Roles.AddUserToRole(CreateUserWizard1.UserName, "client");
}



protected void Login1_Authenticate(object sender, AuthenticateEventArgs e)
{
Login Login1 = (Login)LoginView1.FindControl("Login1");
if (Membership.ValidateUser(Login1.UserName, Login1.Password))
{
if (Request.QueryString["ReturnUrl"] != null)
{
Response.Write("redirect");
FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(Login1.UserName, false);
}
else
{
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(Login1.UserName, false);
Response.Write("set cookie");
e.Authenticated = true;
}
}
else
{
Response.Write("you're not welcomed");
}
}

Grab asp, asp.net Sessions from javascript

window.onload = function() {
var a = 'Session["LoginStatus"]';
alert(a); }


place this in header surrounded by javascript tags sorry can't place them in here without it becoming code, also surround the Session["LoginStatus"] with tags you use to signify asp/ asp.net code, i bet this will work with php too though haven't tested.

Create Wallpaper/Background for folder in XP

2 Steps

step 1
[{BE098140-A513-11D0-A3A4-00C04FD706EC}]

click on button and move an image in javascript

//**********I'm also moving a div with a background image to make it appear to to scroll upward**********************************

ypos =375;
ry = 375;
height = 10;
var timer;


function movescroll(){
if(ry > 10)
{
ry= ry-10;
height = height + 10 //grow div1
obj=document.getElementById("top");
obj.style.top=ry +"px";
obj=document.getElementById("div1");
obj.style.height= height +"px";
obj.style.top= (ry + 3)+"px";
}
else
{
clearInterval(timer);
}
}
function fire(){
height = 10; // reset
ry= ypos; // reset
obj=document.getElementById("top");
obj.style.top= ry +"px";
timer=setInterval("movescroll()",5);
}

//***********add this code in img tag*************

onclick="clearInterval(timer);fire()"

Wow Nice Blog Name

I have know idea how i ended up with this blog name. I know i didn't create it, but since i just happen to know a little asp, I shant let this blog title go to waste.

Today I learned how to dynamically create a menu control reading from the sitemap.config file.
I spent a couple days on it and i think this is the best way to do it.

Dynamically Create Menu Control based on web.sitemap
//*************************************************************************
SiteMapNodeCollection baseCollection = new SiteMapNodeCollection(SiteMap.RootNode);
SiteMapNodeCollection parentCollection = SiteMap.RootNode.ChildNodes;
Menu menu2 = new Menu();
if (Session["User"] != null)
{
LocalUser user = (LocalUser)Session["User"];
int count = 1;
foreach (SiteMapNode parentNode in parentCollection)
{
if (user.AccessLevel >= int.Parse(parentNode.Description))
{
menu2.MenuItemClick += new MenuEventHandler(Menu_MenuItemClick);
MenuItem parentItem = new MenuItem("", "", "~/images/top_" + count.ToString() + "t.gif");
menu2.Items.Add(parentItem);
SiteMapNodeCollection childCollection = parentNode.ChildNodes;
foreach (SiteMapNode childNode in childCollection)
{
menu2.MenuItemClick += new
MenuEventHandler (Menu_MenuItemClick);//reader.MoveToAttribute(i);
MenuItem childItem = new MenuItem(childNode.Title, "", "", childNode.Url);
parentItem.ChildItems.Add(childItem);
}
count++;
}
}
}
//************don't forget to create the event*******************************

protected void Menu_MenuItemClick(object sender, MenuEventArgs e)
{ }
//***************notes****************************************************
I'm building the menu based on the user access level, i placed in the web.sitemap attribute description the level i wanted the parent to have.
