I have assemblies that are accessed from both ASP.NET apps and from windows services built with DOTNET.
What should I do in the second case? In my windows service should I set thread::currentprincipal equal to my user, then in my assemblies I can check either HttpContext::User or Thread::CurrentPrincipal for a valid user? >From: "Marsh, Drew" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: dotnet discussion <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Re: [DOTNET] how to pass httpcontext.user to another assembly >Date: Fri, 26 Apr 2002 11:27:39 -0400 > >Pete B [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] wrote: > > > I'd like to use forms authentication in my web app, and I'll > > be replacing the intrinsic user with my own user object. my > > web app references many assemblies, none of which have access > > to the httpcontext.
