Hello!
I am just learning about forms authentication so please excuse this basic
question. I am using .NET 1.1 and C#.

I have created my web.config file and my login.aspx and the associated cs
file using
examples on MSDN. I have created a FormsAuthenticationTicket and cookie and
added the cookie to the response and then set the SetAuthCookie etc. When I
go to the redirected page, I am not sure how to read the cookie value so I
know who the user is!

Once a user has authenticated, you can get it as

Context.User.Identity.Name

.
