c# - Storing user data after authentication with MVC4 -

i creating simple login using asp.net mvc4 / razor. need custom logic, here's have far:

public class user    {       [required]       [display(name = "user name")]       public string username { get; set; }        [required]       [datatype(datatype.password)]       [display(name = "password")]       public string password { get; set; }        public int userid { get; set; }       public datetime lastlogin { get; set; }        public bool isvalid(string username, string password)       {          if(mycustomlogic.isvaliduser(username, password)){             // set other variables             return true;          } else {             return false;          }       }    } 

in controller:

public actionresult login(models.user user) {    if (modelstate.isvalid)    {       if (user.isvalid(user.username, user.password))       {          formsauthentication.setauthcookie(user.username, true);          // line in question       }    }    return view(user); } 

i want store model.user can accessed in view persistently. storing in session variable seems obvious choice, expire independently of authentication cookie.

i think you're asking, how should store user subsequent requests? convention create own subclass of iprincipal can store whatever want, , set httpcontext.current.user instance of this. this question has full examples.
