send user to the right page

I have two pages on my website that needs login, so if you go to the page and don't have the permission it will send you to the login page. Now on my login page I have hard code after the user logs in go to the index.aspx page, but since I'm using the same login page for all the password protected page how can I send the user to the last page he visited.

In your login page, when you are authenticating the user, you can
get the url by:
FormsAuthentication.GetRedirectUrl(txtUsername.Text, False)

Then you can save this somewhere, and in index.aspx, redirect to the saved page.

where should I add that?

should I add on my page load? or on my response.redirect??

here is part of the code

*******************

<script language="vb" runat="server">
Sub Page_Load (s As Object, e As EventArgs)handles mybase.load
      If Not isPostBack Then
            Session.Item("uname") = ""
      End If
End Sub

....

Sub btnSubmit_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
....
response.Redirect()
            Else
                  myConn.Close()
                  Label2.Text = "Invalid Username/Password"
            End If

It should be added right before response.redirect

Ennio

ASKER

so it should be like this

FormsAuthentication.GetRedirectUrl(txtUsername.Text, False)
response.Redirect()
Else
myConn.Close()
Label2.Text = "Invalid Username/Password"
End If

I think you did not set the authentication cookie after authenticate successfully

Ennio

ASKER

I think so, because in my other pages I just check for the Session.Item("uname") = to some data, and they get the permission to the page.
