title: Static methods in a class - okay in this situation?
body: <p>Hey all - I have an app where I'm authenticating the user. They pass username and password. I pass the username and password to a class that has a static method. For example it'm calling a method with the signature below: </p>
  
  <pre><code>public class Security
  {
  public static bool Security.Member_Authenticate (string username, string password) 
  { //do stuff}
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I have 1000 people hitting this at once, will I have any problems with the returns of the method bleeding into others? I mean, since the methods are static, will there be issues with the a person getting authenticated when in fact they shouldn't be but the person before them was successfully authenticated ASP.Net returns a mismatched result due to the method being static? I've read of issues with static properties vs viewstate but am a bit confused on static methods. If this is a bad way of doing this,what's the prefered way?</p>
