Its general prectices where we have to show some different layout when user is anonymous and different layout when user is authorized.

The .NET 2.0 provides the inbuild control, asp:LoginView; it will allow you to define the two different tamplets, one for anonymouse and another is for authorized user. Also it provides the the RoleGroups; using this you can also devide your authorized user template to one step down, means we can define the template based on Role too.
