RedirectFromLoginPage

[Shawn]

Hi.
I'm using RedirectFromLoginPage to redirect the user if the login was
successful. The problem is that I don't want the user to be redirected to
the page he requested. I want him to be redirected to my startup page. Is
that possible?


Thanks,
Shawn

Shawn,

When you authenticate the user, you can perform a Response.Redirect to your
startup page and just ignore the RedirectFromLoginPage method.

Hope this helps!

If I simply replace RedirectFromLoginPage with Response.Redirect then the
page I'm redirecting to just sends me back to the login page again.. I'm
guessing I somehow have to tell FormsAuthentication that the user has been
authenticated.. Can you tell me how?

Shawn,

Try this:

void LoginBtn_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Page.IsValid)
{
// Call the authentication event handler delegate (not included
in this example).
if (FormsAuthentication.Authenticate(UserName.Text,
UserPass.Text))
{
// Return to the originally requested URL.
Response.Redirect("mystartpage.aspx");
}
else
{
Msg.Text = "Invalid Credentials: Please try again";
}
}
}

Hope this helps!
