Detecting VB.net login

Hi experts,

I'm writing a .net web application using visual basic and I'm struggling with the membership/login functionality.

I've got the membership database setup and have logged in after a fashon and I'm not sure if i'm doing it correctly.

Basically what I want to do is, after the user has logged in using the standard vb.net login tool and membership table lookup is navigate to a different web page and should the user log out redirect the user to the login page.

Could someone give me a code example on how this is done?

You can use the login Control's loggedin event. See here for example :

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.login.loggedin.aspx

You will just redirect the user whereever you want after he/she logges-in.

Basically you would use session variables and master page / Base Page

In you master page Load event you would check for

If Not Session("IsLoggedIn") Is Nothing AndAlso Session("IsLoggedIn") = True Then
'user can proceed , run appropriate code here
Else
response.redirect("login.aspx")
End If

In your login page on the OnloggedIn event of the logn control you would set Session("IsLoggedIn") = true

When the user logs out you would remove the Session.Remove("IsLoggedIn")

This approach will affect site ide access
