How to Pass Custom Data in FormsAuthenticationTicket

Lets say we have an custom object with following properties.

public class AuthUser
{
public int UserID { get; set; }
public string UserNo { get; set; }
public string UserName { get; set; }
public string Password { get; set; }


public override string ToString()
{
return UserID + "," + UserNo + "," + UserName + "," + Password; 
}


}

To pass custom data with the authentication ticket use below code.

AuthUser au = new AuthUser();
au.UserID = 1;
au.UserNo ="001";
au.UserName = "chamara";
au.Password = "123";
string userData = au.ToString();

FormsAuthenticationTicket ticket = new FormsAuthenticationTicket(

             2,                             // Version number

             txtUserName.Text.Trim(),      // Username

             DateTime.Now,                  // Issue date

             DateTime.Now.AddDays(555), // Expiration date

             false,                         // Persistent?

             userData                 // User data

);

Retrieve Userdata

FormsIdentity id = (FormsIdentity)Context.User.Identity;
FormsAuthenticationTicket ticket = id.Ticket;
string[] UserData = ticket.UserData.Split(',');
