Silverlight page login/redirect/navigation

Question

Hello,

I am building a silverlight application that needs to have a login page and if the details are correct I need to redirect the user to the actual application. What would be the best way to proceed? This will be my first silverlight app.

I was thinking of having a login page that redirects the user to another page that uses the silverlight navigation framework to switch the content pages after the user has logged in.

Any better way?

Thanks!

Answer 1

It is more secure to encase the security into your outer frame window than view page navigation.

A common approach is to have LoggedIn and LoggedOut states for that view (using the VisualStateManager to change it). The LoggedOut state shows the login panel. The LoggedIn shows your main frame windows.

This way you can reach your site via any URL (assuming deep linking) and still get your security.

May be you need Silverlight Business Application.
Template for this is available on VS 2010.
It has login, register user logics, and have navigations.
