Hi all ,

I have a comment functionality on my website and i want only logged in users to comment on it so how can i do it ? I already know how to deny access to pages so is it done in the same way ?

Thanks in advance.

you can use sessions for this purpose. store the user id in session when a user logged in and delete it when he logged out.
put your comment control in a panel and by default set its visibility hidden. In your page which contain the comments control just check in the page load if session is not null turn visibility visible. otherwise it remains hidden.
