UserExists (WebSecurity Ref)

The UserExists method takes one string argument and checks to see if the user exists. It returns Boolean, so true or false.

Example

C# Code

@{
string username = "";
string msg = "";

if (IsPost)
{
    username = Request["username"];
    if (WebSecurity.UserExists(username))
    {
        msg = "User Found!";
    }else{
        msg = "Cannot find user!";
    }   
}

}
