Raises the Login.Authenticate event to authenticate the user.
- e
An System.Web.UI.WebControls.AuthenticateEventArgs that contains the event data.
The Login.OnAuthenticate(AuthenticateEventArgs) method raises the Login.Authenticate event. Use the Login.Authenticate event to implement a custom authentication scheme.
Raising an event invokes the event handler through a delegate. For more information, see Raising an Event.
The Login.OnAuthenticate(AuthenticateEventArgs) method also allows derived classes to handle the event without attaching a delegate. This is the preferred technique for handling the event in a derived class.
