Best way to check a session var on each page?

[Jon]

I am setting a session var upon login that holds some data about the user.
I need to check on every page to make sure the data is populated so if a
user bypasses the login page they are redirected to login first! I know on
each page load I can do a check of the session var and redirect if it's gone
or the wrong value, but I'd like a way to do it from one location. What's
the recommended method for this type of thing?

Thanks

Probably the best is to use a base page which all your other pages inherit
from:

I was going to give you an example, but why retype what someone else already
has:

Hope that helps...

Jon,

Are you sure you are not duplicating the functionality already provided by
Forms authentication? If not, then do it in Application_AuthenticateRequest
method of your Global.asax.cs file.

That'll work...Just one question, how do I convert this event adding
statement to VB.Net?

 

[Jon]

That'll work. One question, what is the equivalent of the following in
VB.Net?

base.Load +=new EventHandler(CommonPage_Load);

Thanks!

AddHandler myBase.Load, AddressOf CommonPage_Load
