Public Property AnonymousID As String

Property Value

Type: System.String

The anonymous identifier for the user.

You can use the AnonymousID property to set the anonymous identifier to a custom value during the AnonymousIdentification_Creating event. If you do not specify a value for the AnonymousID property during the AnonymousIdentification_Creating event, a Guid is used.

The AnonymousIdentification_Creating event is only raised when the anonymous identification is Enabled.

The following code example uses the AnonymousIdentification_Creating event to set the anonymous identifier to a custom value.

Public Sub AnonymousIdentification_Creating(sender As Object,  _
                                            args As AnonymousIdentificationEventArgs)
  args.AnonymousID = Samples.AspNet.Security.MyIdClass.GetAnonymousId()
  Samples.AspNet.Security.MyIdClass.LogAnonymousId(args.AnonymousId)
End Sub
