Hi,
I'm creating a class, that will go to a database and authenticate if the
user
exist and the password is correct.
What I don't understand, is how I tell my application that the user is
authenticated (during a time period), so It doesn't keep asking for the
login.

Do I need a session variable to say the user is log on or SetAuthCookie and
GetAuthCookie is enough to do so.
Thanks

Hi,

you usually use RedirectFromLoginPage or SetAuthCookie to set the cookie.
The FormsAuth infrastructure will transparently decrypt the cookie and populate
Context.User on subsequent requests for you. No SessionState needed at all.

look at

Context.User.Identity.Name and .IsAuthenticated

after authentication
