>I am struggling while migrating a Web Application Project from vs2003 to a *Web Site Project* in vs2005. I have got to say that is just unfair that this was not made easier by Microsoft. Anyway, I am having a problem with, what I think is, lost session variables. Can someone suggest a way to trace this one:

When you have RequiresSecurity = true, the following code located in mmBaseWebPage.OnLoad() is executed to determine whether to redirect to the login:

if (this.RequiresSecurity && this.SecurityUserPk == null) 
{
	this.RedirectToLogin();
	return;
}

So, my guess is that you're losing the SecurityUserPk value.

>And… can someone advise me as to how to turn off security on a web form in vs2005. Everything is just a little bit different. Different enough for me not to find it.

It IS different in ASP.NET 2.0. Check out the MM .NET Dev Guide topic "Securing Forms" for the code you need to use now to turn security off/on.

We've had a number of developers migrate pretty complex applications -- there is usually SOME tweaking to do, but not too much.
