.NET Framework Class Library

MembershipUser..::.LastPasswordChangedDate Property

Gets the date and time when the membership user's password was last updated.

Namespace: System.Web.Security
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

Public Overridable ReadOnly Property LastPasswordChangedDate As DateTime

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim instance As MembershipUser
Dim value As DateTime

value = instance.LastPasswordChangedDate

public virtual DateTime LastPasswordChangedDate { get; }

Visual C++

public:
virtual property DateTime LastPasswordChangedDate {
    DateTime get ();
}

JScript

public function get LastPasswordChangedDate () : DateTime

Property Value

Type: System..::.DateTime
The date and time when the membership user's password was last updated.

Remarks

The SqlMembershipProvider sets the CreationDate, LastLoginDate, LastActivityDate, and LastPasswordChangedDate date to the same date and time when a membership user is created by the CreateUser method.

Examples

The following code example shows a login page that indicates a password has expired after a specified number of days. If the LastPasswordChangedDate is earlier than the current date and time minus the number of days specified for the expiration of a password, then the user is directed to change his or her password.

Security Note:
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.
