Forms authorization, only want a few links

Hey all, I only want a few extra links to appear once authorized and not have the whole web app off limits by using deny users="?". I want it much the same as daniweb, the userCP link isn't visible until a user has logged in, how do I do this in VB .NET?

I got it working guys! and for your reference, I will show you the code.

My Web.Config:

  14.  		 false at all other times. For more information, refer to the documentation about
  15.    		  debugging ASP.NET files.

I had trouble with this because since it is a control, you can't just pull the authentication values out ie,
ASP.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.   If User.Identity.IsAuthenticated Then
  2.    			'display Credential information
  3.   		    lblTest.Text = "Current User:<b>&nbsp;" & User.Identity.Name
  4.  
That wont work because you have to pull the authentication values from the cookies on the page, so I had to put:
ASP.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.   If Page.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated Then
  2.    			'display Credential information
  3.  		 lblTest.Text = "Current User:<b>&nbsp;" & Page.User.Identity.Name
  4.  
By the way, the code for the login is awesome because if the password is incorrect after three tries, the user is redirected to a page called "Denied.aspx" with the following code:
ASP.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.   If CInt(ViewState("Tries")) > 1 Then
  2.  				Response.Redirect("Denied.aspx")
  3.     			Else
  4.     			    ' Otherwise, increment number of tries.
  5.     			    ViewState("Tries") = CInt(ViewState("Tries")) + 1
  6.     			End If
  7.  
Also, remember when you are working with forms authentication to always include the following at the top of each page:
ASP.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.   Imports System.Web.Security
I'm not sure an amaeture like me should be giving out tips but what the hey. Remember when editing the web.config it is EXTREMELY sensitive, one wrong capital somewhere, one incorrect character and the whole code is stuffed. I highly recommend not just copying and pasting it off the web (personal experiece:o). If you want to see the asp code for the logon page, it's as attached, for some reason it wouldn't let me post it as code *shrugs*. If you would like to know any more, just post back!

I had trouble with this because since it is a control, you can't just pull the authentication values out ie,
ASP.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.   If User.Identity.IsAuthenticated Then
  2.    			'display Credential information
  3.   		    lblTest.Text = "Current User:<b>&nbsp;" & User.Identity.Name
  4.  
That wont work because you have to pull the authentication values from the cookies on the page, so I had to put:
ASP.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.   If Page.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated Then
  2.    			'display Credential information
  3.  		 lblTest.Text = "Current User:<b>&nbsp;" & Page.User.Identity.Name
  4.  
By the way, the code for the login is awesome because if the password is incorrect after three tries, the user is redirected to a page called "Denied.aspx" with the following code:
ASP.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.   If CInt(ViewState("Tries")) > 1 Then
  2.  				Response.Redirect("Denied.aspx")
  3.     			Else
  4.     			    ' Otherwise, increment number of tries.
  5.     			    ViewState("Tries") = CInt(ViewState("Tries")) + 1
  6.     			End If
  7.  
Also, remember when you are working with forms authentication to always include the following at the top of each page:
ASP.NET Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1.   Imports System.Web.Security
I'm not sure an amaeture like me should be giving out tips but what the hey. Remember when editing the web.config it is EXTREMELY sensitive, one wrong capital somewhere, one incorrect character and the whole code is stuffed. I highly recommend not just copying and pasting it off the web (personal experiece:o). If you want to see the asp code for the logon page, it's as attached, for some reason it wouldn't let me post it as code *shrugs*. If you would like to know any more, just post back!

Slade (I'm getting better at this I think)
The codes look great, I'm looking beyond the authentication stage, once user login, how to retrieve this particular user's data from the database (SQL Server)? I want to retrieve the user's data from database based on the user's login, eg. User.Identity.Name, then display the data inside the textboxes. Any idea how to get data and display in the textbox? Thanks
