For starters, you do not communicate well.  Your two posts don't make much sense.  What I can now gather is that you haven't figured out the basics of how authentication works.  The identity name or username either entered by a user into a web form or captured via windows authentication is a "string".  Something like "rmorris" or "sasa" is pretty common.

As you've done here, you perform a query against the database using the username and/or password to obtain the full User record.  Which, in your case, has a "user_id column that is some form of a number int, bigint, numeric, etc...

However...

Your current method "checklogin" returns a bool which only tells you whether the username/pwd is valid.  It does not return the "user_id" column value either as a return value or perhaps the enter User record altogether.  Thus, you are not retrieving the real value you need for use elsewhere in the application:  "user_id".

What people are suggesting you do is create a new method called GetUserByUserNameAndPassword(string username, string password) with either a class called User that contains all of the properties in the table User OR just return the user_id column value as the return value for the method.  Once you get the user_id value, store it in Session, querystring, cookie, or somewhere else for use throughout your application while they are signed.

Throughout the application, you'd check to see if the user_id value is still in Session (or wherever you put it) to see if they are still signed in or whether the session has expired due to inactivity.  If so, then redirect them (code on each page of your site) to the login screen.

yes..u are right..actually i searched this forum then notice what ever i need after login..the best way is to store userid into a session and from that time i work with session.i did the same and it worked correctly.so i notice sth that with httpcontext.current.user.identity u cant have userid easily.u need connection to db and find userid from there then store it in session to work through.and about that user_id i mentain in my question its a fk in second table....its not related to login.my login work good because i wrote it with custom validation and it check the db with a bool query.
