Remarks

The LayoutTemplate property contains the template that defines how the Login control is displayed to the user.

The following table lists the required and optional controls used in a Login control template.

ID or command name Control type Required/optional
UserName Any control that implements IEditableTextControl, including TextBox, or a custom or third-party control. Required
Password Any control that implements IEditableTextControl, including TextBox, or a custom or third-party control. Required
RememberMe CheckBox Optional
FailureText Any control that implements ITextControl. Optional
Login Any control that causes event bubbling. Optional

The Login control throws an HttpException exception if the layout template does not contain the required controls. No exception is thrown if you give an optional control ID to a control of the wrong type; however, the control is subsequently ignored by the Login control.

The login control can be any control that causes event bubbling, such as Button, LinkButton, or ImageButton. The control's command name property must be set to "Login".

When a template is used for the Login control, only the following properties affect the behavior of the control:

All other properties are inactive when a template is set for the Login control.
