Extending IIdentity help

[Spondishy]

Hi,

I'm attempting to extend IIdentity to enable me to have more
information on the user (email etc) and store it in a cookie. I assume
I am extending the correct object (but if not shout up).

Anyhow I've had a good stab at this, but I don't appear to get my
extended identity back out of the cookie.

At present I'm creating a FormsAuthenticationTicket by decrypting the
cookie and then applying FormsIdentity(ticket) in an attempt to get the
identity. I can't cast this back to my extended identity (only
IIdentity).

I know I'm going wrong. Has anyone a really good example of extending
IIdentity, storing in cookies, retrieving the principal and sending to
the webapp so it can use the user data.

Help as always really appreciated.

Thanks.

Spondishy,
Here is an article that shows how I built a custom Principal class for use
with Windows Forms Authentication and SQLITE database:

Thanks Peter,

So, do I take it that IPrincipal is the way to go instead of
IPrincipal?
