Form based authentication - how to compile

How can I compile the following code into a DLL?
I've tried all kinds of things to no avail. Thanks for any help you can provide.


function IsAuthenticated() as boolean
Dim objUserIdentity As FormsIdentity
Dim objTicket As FormsAuthenticationTicket
'objUserIdentity = User.Identity

dim blnReturn as boolean
If page.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated Then

if page.User.Identity.name = session("strHostEmail") or session("strRole") = "A" then
blnReturn = true
else
blnReturn = false
end if
lblLoginError.visible = false
blnReturn = true

' response.write("session="&Session( "strSNRole" ) )
else
'response.write("not authenticated")
blnReturn = false
end if
return blnReturn
end function

 

if you want to compile this funcation as seperate dll
1. you have imports all the related namespace
2. send page,session objects as a argument to you dll object
3. use the following code

function IsAuthenticated(page as System.Web.UI.Page,session as System.Web.SessionState.HttpSessionState) as boolean
Dim objUserIdentity As FormsIdentity
Dim objTicket As FormsAuthenticationTicket
'objUserIdentity = User.Identity

dim blnReturn as boolean
If page.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated Then

if page.User.Identity.name = session("strHostEmail") or session("strRole") = "A" then
blnReturn = true
else
blnReturn = false
end if
lblLoginError.visible = false
blnReturn = true

' response.write("session="&Session( "strSNRole" ) )
else
'response.write("not authenticated")
blnReturn = false
end if
return blnReturn
end function
