Set PersonalizedData on login?

Vote:

I have a custom login screen, containing some fields which I wish to save as PersonalizedData. However, I want to do this immediately after authenticating, which means I don't have access to the user data who has just logged in. I'm using the following code to try and access this user:


string url = HandleLogin();
            if (url != null)
            {
                IPrincipal principal;
                
                principal = AuthenticationProvider.Authenticate(this, Username.Text, Password.Text);
                HttpContext.Current.User = principal;  // try and set current user in code
                 
                CurrentUser.UserData["MyField"] = MyField.Text;
                CurrentUser.UserData.Save();  // this doesn't save
                

                PersonalizedData.Load(Username.Text); // try and populate PersonalizedData
                
                PersonalizedData.Current["MyField"] = MyField.Text;
                PersonalizedData.Current.Save(); // this doesn't save either
            
                Response.Redirect(url); // normal login redirect
            }

As you can see from my comments, the two methods I've tried to set custom data for the user don't work. Can anybody help? Thanks, /\dam

Hi Adam! The following should work:


if( UnifiedPrincipal.Current.Identity.IsAuthenticated )
{
  PersonalizedData pd = UnifiedPrincipal.Current.UserData;
  pd["ShoeSize"] = "8.5";
  pd["FavouritePet"] = "Cat";
  pd.Save():
}
