Topic: Incorrect documentation for LoggedInUser property

Mon, 09 Jun 2008 20:46:11 GMT

The documentation in v3.5 or previous versions states

"Useful for ASP.NET based applications as this property is this value is initialized from the Session variable UserID"

However this is not correct and instead of the "UserID" the default session variable name is "User". Also, there is an undocumented setting that allows you to override this name.

<appSettings> 
   <add key="UserObjectSessionName" value="UserID" /> 
</appSettings> 
 

By specifying the above setting the LoggedInUser property will now be populated from Session["UserID"] rather than the default Session["User"] variable.

Note: This only applies when the library is being used in an ASP.NET applications.
