AnonymousIdentificationModule::Creating Event

Occurs when a new anonymous identifier is created.

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

public:
 event AnonymousIdentificationEventHandler^ Creating {
	void add (AnonymousIdentificationEventHandler^ value);
	void remove (AnonymousIdentificationEventHandler^ value);
}

The Creating event is raised during the PostAuthenticateRequest event.

You can access the Creating event of the AnonymousIdentificationModule class by specifying a subroutine named AnonymousIdentification_Creating in the Global.asax file for your ASP.NET application.

You can use the AnonymousId() property of the AnonymousIdentificationEventArgs object supplied to the AnonymousIdentification_Creating event to set the anonymous identifier to a custom value. 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.

No code example is currently available or this language may not be supported.
