Answer 1

<% if(User.IsAuthenticated) { %>
  <%-- User is logged in, show them the sidebar to do with their account --%>
  <% Html.RenderPartial("Sidebar/LoggedInSidebar"); %>
<% } else { %>
  <%-- User needs to log in, show them a sidebar that asks for their credentials --%>
  <% Html.RenderPartial("Sidebar/LogInSidebar"); %>
<% }

• LoggedInSidebar points to ~/Views/Shared/Sidebar/LoggedInSidebar.ascx
• LogInSidebar points to ~/Views/Shared/Sidebar/LogInSidebar.ascx

Silly question @Ahmed but can't you use the one that is generated when you create a new MVC project?

It's in the Shared folder called LogOnUserControl.ascx.
