Question

What does the FormsAuthentication.Initialize() method actually do?

Plz be specific.

The Initialize method is called when the FormsAuthenticationModule creates an instance of the FormsAuthentication class. This method is not intended to be called from your code.

Answer 2

When in doubt, use Reflector. Unfortunatly, I;m not sitting at my development PC so I can't tell you eaxctly, what it does, but with Reflector you should be able to find out in a matter of seconds.
