Login.OnAuthenticate Method
Raises the Authenticate event to authenticate the user.
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)
Parameters
- e
- Type: System.Web.UI.WebControls.AuthenticateEventArgs
An AuthenticateEventArgs that contains the event data.
The OnAuthenticate method raises the Authenticate event. Use the Authenticate event to implement a custom authentication scheme.
Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. For more information, see Raising an Event.
The OnAuthenticate method also allows derived classes to handle the event without attaching a delegate. This is the preferred technique for handling the event in a derived class.
Notes to Inheritors:When overriding OnAuthenticate in a derived class, be sure to call the base class's OnAuthenticate method so that registered delegates receive the event.
The following code example uses the Authenticate event to call site-specific custom authentication code.
