CreateUserWizard: After registering, I'd like the user to be automatically logged on

Question

I, am using the CreateUserWizard to register a user. The control's built-in logic is doing all the work to add the user. However, upon registering, I would like the user to be considered "authenticated." I thought that the "Authenticate" function would have authenticated me, but the function sets the Authenticated Boolean to False. Note however that the "ValidateUser" function returns True.

How do I automatically sign on/authenticate the use after registering so he doesn't have to "log on" after just registering with his new credentials?

 Protected Sub CreateUserWizard1_CreatedUser(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles CreateUserWizard1.CreatedUser


        Dim Authenticated As Boolean = FormsAuthentication.Authenticate(CreateUserWizard1.UserName, CreateUserWizard1.Password)
        Dim Validated As Boolean = Membership.ValidateUser(CreateUserWizard1.UserName, CreateUserWizard1.Password) 

    End Sub

Note that this

If the validated does indeed turn out to be correct then you can use SetAuthCookie.
