authentication and session issues with resources

[Ramadass]

Hi,
I have a webforms application which uses Forms Authentication.
There are two webforms, mainform.aspx which retrieves data from a data.aspx
webpage(the data.aspx page is set via a property on a control on
mainform.aspx). The data.aspx serializes an xml file, which is used by the
mainform.aspx.

When i set the data.aspx as the start page and run the application, it
displays the xml file correctly, but when it is set as a property, it doesnt
seem to be authenticated and does not have the current session information.
How can i make it get authenticated.
Thanks
Ramadass

Why don't you let mainform.aspx get the data itself? or by using a
"ResourceAccessLayer"?

YOU must be authenticated or do you mean you let mainform.aspx read th
content of
data.aspx by using a WebRequest - if so you should try WebServices.

Sorry i wasnt very clear with my first post. I have a WebControl on the page
(mainform.aspx) which accesses the data.aspx to retrieve XML content from
it. The data.aspx serializes the xml data. The control creates a web request
to the data.aspx. It turned out that in the webrequest that i created, i was
not forwarding the credentials and therefore data.aspx was trying to
redirect to a login page.
I temporarily solved the problem by serializing the XML file generated by
the aspx to temp directory, but it would be nice if i could formulate my
webrequest to forward the right credentials and the session to the aspx
page.
