looks like your System.Threading.Thread.CurrentPrincipal.Identity is null..

That's not C#, it's VB.

I believe you get this error:
Unable to cast object of type 'System.Security.Principal.GenericIdentity' to type 'System.Web.ClientServices.ClientFormsIdentity'

This will occur as long as you are not authenticated. To get the FormsIdentity you need to have been authenticated.

The above issue will be
"Unable to cast object of type 'System.Security.Principal.GenericIdentity' to type 'System.Web.ClientServices.ClientFormsIdentity'."
