Hi Group Memebers:

I am pretty new to asp.net.vb. Please dont mistake me if my Q is
silly...

I want to list the user names online in home page....

I am adopting this metod:

Get the user name after login and insert the names in a table who log
in the site.

Then displaying the names... Is there any smart way of doing this ???

Please suggest.

Thanks
Dan

Click to expand...

In your log in code, just write the user into a collection and store it
into an application variable.

This should be more efficent than accessing a database to look up who's
logged in.

Drawback is that if the application crashes or the .NET runtime recycles
you'll lose the logged in users.

However, you can always mirror the data to a database.
 
Thanks for the response...

Will there be any size limitation in the application variable....??

Thanks
Dan
