Class UserState - West Wind Toolkit for .NET

Class UserState

User information container that can easily 'serialize' to a string and back. Meant to hold basic logon information to avoid trips to the database for common information required by an app to validate and display user info.

I use this class a lot to attach as Forms Authentication Ticket data to keep basic user data without having to hit the database

System.Object
Westwind.Web.UserState

public class UserState : object
