Remarks

The LoggingIn event is raised when a user submits login information but before the user is authenticated on the Web site. Use the LoggingIn event to set up any information that you need before authenticating a user.

You can cancel a login attempt during the LoggingIn event by setting the Cancel property of the CancelEventArgs object to true.

After the LoggingIn event is raised, the Login control raises the Authenticate event and then the LoggedIn event.
