public int Version { get; }

Property Value

Type: System.Int32
The version number of the roles cookie.

By including a version number in the roles cookie, future releases of ASP.NET can modify the format of the roles cookie and use the Version property to distinguish between different formats.

The following example displays role-caching information for the current user if role management is enabled. For information on enabling role management, see the Roles class.
