I am a newbie in asp.net. How do I verify whether I am logged in in vb or c#?

Scenario: I am a user browsing the website. If I decide to purchase something, how does it check whether I am logined in?

Thank you!!

Oh where do i begin. There are a number of ways with ASP.NET you can use to manage user authentication. The most common method is ASP.NET forms authentication. I'm afraid thats a little beyond the scope of this post however i've provided some links below with may help...

InstantForum.NET contains a well-designed reusable user authentication system and many of our customers use our existing code as a base for user management on their sites. I hope this helps a little.
