LoginStatus text not updated correctly

I have FormsAuthentication in place like this in web.config file:

XML

<authentication mode="Forms">
    <forms name="Login" loginUrl="/WebPages/Default.aspx?Action=Login"
        defaultUrl="/WebPages/Default.aspx?Action=Login"
        protection="All" path="/WebPages/" />
</authentication>
<authorization>allow users="?" </authorization>

I have a LoginStatus control in the mainpage, which shows 'Login' to startwith. When I click on that, it will redirect me to the login page. After logging in successfully, I go back to the main page. But the LoginText of LoginStatus control is not updated..i.e., it still shows 'Login'. When I click on the LoginStatus again for the second time, then it is updated to 'Logout' and I go to the Login page.
The LoginStatus control is defined like this:

<asp:loginstatus id="LoginStatus1" runat="server" logoutaction="Redirect" logoutpageurl="~/WebPages/Default.aspx" xmlns:asp="#unknown" />

What should I do to get the LoginStatus to show correct text first time itself??

Did you use LoginView ?

XML

<asp:LoginView ID="LoginView1" runat="Server">
    <AnonymousTemplate>
        <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Welcome, Guest
            <asp:LoginStatus ID="LoginStatus1" runat="Server" />
        </span>
    </AnonymousTemplate>
    <LoggedInTemplate>
        Welcome,
        <asp:LoginName ID="LoginName1" runat="Server" />
        <asp:LoginStatus ID="LoginStatus1" runat="Server" />
    </LoggedInTemplate>

The LoggedInTemplate should have LoginStatus in it.

Also have a look into this.

Hi Abhishek,
Thanks for the reply. I tried your sample but no luck. I guess there is something to do with the Login control, which is like this:

XML

<asp:Login ID="LoginAdmin" runat="server" BackColor="White"
                    BorderColor="#CCCC99" BorderStyle="Solid" BorderWidth="1px"
                        EnableTheming="True" EnableViewState="True"
                        Font-Names="Verdana" Font-Size="10pt"
                        TitleText="Admin Log In" Font-Bold="False"
                        Width="340px" DestinationPageUrl="~/WebPages/Welcome.aspx"
                        onloggedin="LoginAdmin_LoggedIn" VisibleWhenLoggedIn="False">
                    <LoginButtonStyle Font-Bold="False" Font-Names="Verdana" Font-Size="Small" />
                        <LayoutTemplate>
                            <table border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0"
                                style="border-collapse:collapse;">
                                <tr>
                                    <td>
                                        <table border="0" cellpadding="0" style="width:530px;">
                                            <tr>
