Displaying different page content, depending on the logged in user.

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hi all, I am new to ASP.net (and web development in general), and have a question about how I can display different page content depending on the current user.
I wish to create a digg style social news website whereby when a user logs onto the website, they are confronted with articles that are specifically recommended to them. Therefore, the homepage will look different for every different user that logs in. I would like to know how to code the website in such a way that each user has their own unique homepage, much like how when someone logs into www.facebook.com/home.php, they are confronted with a list of THEIR friends, and THEIR status updates. I have heard of sessions id's...should I use those?
Can anybody please explain (or provide links to) how I can achieve this?

Thanks very much
