The following code example demonstrates how you can extend the Login control. The CustomLogin control includes a DropDownList control that lets users choose which membership provider they are authenticated with. (These providers are configured in Web.config.) In the OnLoggingIn method, the MembershipProvider property is set to the selected value of the DropDownList control.

Important

This example contains a text box that accepts user input, which is a potential security threat. By default, ASP.NET Web pages validate that user input does not include script or HTML elements. For more information, see Script Exploits Overview.

Introduction

The Login control is a composite control that provides all the common UI elements needed to authenticate a user on a Web site. The following three elements are required for all login scenarios:

A unique user name to identify the user.
A password to verify the identity of the user.
A login button to send the login information to the server.

The Login control also provides the following optional UI elements that support additional functions:

A link for a password reminder.
A Remember Me checkbox for retaining the login information between sessions.
A Help link for users who are having trouble logging in.
A Register New User link that redirects users to a registration page.
Instruction text that appears on the login form.
Custom error text that appears when the user clicks the login button without filling in the user name or password fields.
Custom error text that appears if the login fails.
A custom action that occurs when login succeeds.
A way to hide the login control if the user is already logged in to the site.

For a table showing which controls are required and which are optional, see LayoutTemplate property.

Note

If you are not familiar with the set of login controls available in ASP.NET, see ASP.NET Login Controls Overview before continuing. For a list of other topics related to login controls and membership, see Managing Users by Using Membership.

Important

Accepting user input is a potential security threat. Malicious users can send data that is intended to expose vulnerabilities or run programs that try generated passwords. To improve security when working with user input, you should use the validation features of your control and secure any data providers that are configured for your control. For more information, see Securing Login Controls, Basic Security Practices for Web Applications, and Securing Membership.

The Login control uses a membership provider to obtain user credentials. Unless you specify otherwise, the Login control uses the default membership provider defined in the Web.config file. To specify a different provider, set the MembershipProvider property to one of the membership provider names defined in your application's Web.config file. For more information, see Membership Providers.

If you want to use a custom authentication service, you can use the OnAuthenticate method to call the service.

Styles and Templates

The appearance of the Login control is fully customizable through templates and style settings. All UI text messages are also customizable through properties of the Login class. The default interface text is automatically localized based on the locale setting on the server.

If the Login control is customized with templates, then the AccessKey property and the TabIndex property are ignored. In this case, set the AccessKey property and the TabIndex property of each template child control directly.

Login control properties represented by text boxes, such as UserName and Password, are accessible during all phases of the page life cycle. The control will pick up any changes made by the end user by means of the TextChanged event triggered by the textboxes.

Note

If you embed the Login control in a WizardStep object, explicitly set the ActiveStepIndex property in a Page_Load event handler if the user is authenticated. The Wizard control does not automatically advance to the next WizardStep object in this scenario.

The following table lists the Login control style properties and explains which UI element each style property affects. For a list of which properties each style applies to, see the documentation for the individual style properties.

Style property	UI element affected
BorderPadding	The space between the control contents and the control's border.
CheckBoxStyle	Remember Me checkbox.
FailureTextStyle	Login failure text.
InstructionTextStyle	Instructional text on the page that tells users how to use the control.
LabelStyle	Labels for all input fields, such as text boxes.
TextBoxStyle	Text entry input fields.
TitleTextStyle	Title text.
ValidatorTextStyle	Text displayed to the user when a login attempt is unsuccessful due to validation errors.
HyperLinkStyle	Links to other pages.
LoginButtonStyle	Login button.

Validation Groupings

The UserName and Password properties have RequiredFieldValidator controls associated with them to prevent users from submitting the page without providing required information.

The Login control uses a validation group so that other fields on the same page as the Login control can be validated separately. By default, the ID property of the Login control is used as the name of the validation group. For example, a Login control with the ID "Login1" will use a validation group name of "Login1". If you want to set the validation group that the Login control is part of, you must template the control and change the validation group name.

Applying CSS Styles

The Login control lets you specify CSS style rules in markup. If you use templates to customize the appearance of the Login control, you can specify CSS styles in the markup in the templates. In that case, no extra outer table is required. You can prevent the table from being rendered by setting the RenderOuterTable property to false.

Accessibility

For information about how to configure this control so that it generates markup that conforms to accessibility standards, see Accessibility in Visual Studio and ASP.NET and ASP.NET Controls and Accessibility.
