Making user_information accessible for all pages

[balachandar]

Hi All,
I am new to ASP.NET. Once you a user logs into the web application, I want the following details : User Id,User_Name to be accessible in all pages. However once he closes the session, the information should be lost. What is the best strategy to achieve this functionality.

Keep information into session.

In login function add something like :

//C#
Session["User_Id"] = user_id;
Session["User_Name"] = user_name;


And then you can take it from every page by doing:

//C#
string user_name = Session["User_Name"].ToString();
user_id = (int)(Session["User_Id"]);
