WebSecurity Object
Definition
The Logout() method logs out the current user.
C# and VB Syntax
Logout()
Examples
Example C#
// Log out the current user
WebSecurity.Logout();
// Redirect back to the homepage
Response.Redirect("~/");
WebSecurity.Logout();
// Redirect back to the homepage
Response.Redirect("~/");
Example VB
' Log out the current user
WebSecurity.Logout()
' Redirect back to the homepage
Response.Redirect("~/")
WebSecurity.Logout()
' Redirect back to the homepage
Response.Redirect("~/")
Parameters
None.
Return Value
None.
Errors and Exceptions
Any access to the WebSecurity object throws an InvalidOperationException if:
- The InitializeDatabaseConnection() method has not been called
- SimpleMembership is not initialized (or disabled in the website configuration)
Remarks
When a user is logged in, ASP.NET sets an authentication token in a cookie that lets ASP.NET know on subsequent requests that the user has been logged in.
The Logout() method removes the authentication token, which has the effect of logging the user out.
