Remarks

The FormsAuthenticationTicket class is used to create an object that represents the authentication ticket that is used by forms authentication to identify an authenticated user. The properties and values of a forms-authentication ticket are converted to and from an encrypted string that is stored in a cookie or in the URL.

The FormsAuthentication class provides an Encrypt method to create a string value that can be stored in a cookie or in the URL from a FormsAuthenticationTicket. The FormsAuthentication class also provides a Decrypt method to create a FormsAuthenticationTicket object from the encrypted authentication ticket retrieved from the forms-authentication cookie or the URL.

The FormsAuthenticationTicket for the current authenticated user can be accessed using the Ticket property of the FormsIdentity class. You can access the current FormsIdentity object by casting the Identity property of the current User as type FormsIdentity.

Constructors

FormsAuthenticationTicket(Int32, String, DateTime, DateTime, Boolean, String, String)	Initializes a new instance of the FormsAuthenticationTicket class with cookie name, version, directory path, issue date, expiration date, persistence, and user-defined data.
FormsAuthenticationTicket(Int32, String, DateTime, DateTime, Boolean, String)	Initializes a new instance of the FormsAuthenticationTicket class with cookie name, version, expiration date, issue date, persistence, and user-specific data. The cookie path is set to the default value established in the application's configuration file.
FormsAuthenticationTicket(String, Boolean, Int32)	Initializes a new instance of the FormsAuthenticationTicket class using a cookie name and expiration information.

Properties

CookiePath	Gets the cookie path for the forms-authentication ticket.
Expiration	Gets the local date and time at which the forms-authentication ticket expires.
Expired	Gets a value indicating whether the forms-authentication ticket has expired.
IsPersistent	Gets a value indicating whether the cookie that contains the forms-authentication ticket information is persistent.
IssueDate	Gets the local date and time at which the forms-authentication ticket was originally issued.
Name	Gets the user name associated with the forms-authentication ticket.
UserData	Gets a user-specific string stored with the ticket.
Version	Gets the version number of the ticket.

Methods

Equals(Object)	Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object. (Inherited from Object)
GetHashCode()	Serves as the default hash function. (Inherited from Object)
GetType()	Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseClone()	Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object)
ToString()	Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object)
