AuthenticateEventArgs Class

Provides data for the Authenticate event.

Namespace: System.Web.UI.WebControls
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration)

<AspNetHostingPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, Level := AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal)> _
<AspNetHostingPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, Level := AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal)> _
Public Class AuthenticateEventArgs _
    Inherits EventArgs

Visual Basic (Usage)

Dim instance As AuthenticateEventArgs

[AspNetHostingPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.LinkDemand, Level = AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal)]
[AspNetHostingPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction.InheritanceDemand, Level = AspNetHostingPermissionLevel.Minimal)]
public class AuthenticateEventArgs : EventArgs

Visual C++

[AspNetHostingPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction::LinkDemand, Level = AspNetHostingPermissionLevel::Minimal)]
[AspNetHostingPermissionAttribute(SecurityAction::InheritanceDemand, Level = AspNetHostingPermissionLevel::Minimal)]
public ref class AuthenticateEventArgs : public EventArgs

JScript

public class AuthenticateEventArgs extends EventArgs

Remarks

The AuthenticateEventArgs class provides the data needed for the Authenticate event. Custom authentication schemes for a Web site use the Authenticated property to indicate whether a user's login attempt succeeded.

Examples

The following code example uses the AuthenticateEventArgs class to pass data to a custom authentication method.
