Using a custom Principal (or something)

[hads]

Hi all,

Wondering if anyone can shed any light on this...

I have an app that uses roles based security and it seems to be working pretty well, but I need to work with users email address etc throughout the site.

I could use Session variables but since I am already using forms based authentication and thus cookies it can have issues where the session times out and the authentication doesn't. So I am thinking the Identity;

i.e. You know how you can use User.Identity.Name, I want to add User.Identity.Emailadd or something

I think its something to do with IPrincipal or IIdentity but thats about as much as I know.

If anyone has any ideas they would be most appreciated.

Cheers,
