PAGE.USER missing in ASP.NET MVC?

Question

I think Page.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated is available in ASP.NET MVC, because I see other people talking about using it.

However, when I type Page., the intellisense gives me only these 3 options :

CreateHtmlTextWriterFromType Equals ReferenceEquals

What do you think is going on?

EDIT: If I do Page page = new Page(), then page.User works. Is it really needed?

Answer 1

Page is a Webforms object, not much help in MVC. You can access the authenticated user from the HTTP Context, something like httpcontext.user.identity

Answer 2

You can access it in Controller :HttpContext.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated You can acces it in view like this :<% if(User.Identity.IsAuthenticated){} %> Hope this helps.
