User Page Authentication Using Sessions
I am trying to prevent unauthorized access to pages on my VB.Net website. I have set up users manually and I am using Sessions to store the information about the User. I am not using the built in login and authentication features due to other reasons.
The code I am trying to run on Page Load is ..
So if the Session("Role") is "Admin" then it will do nothing and allow the user access to the page, but for all other users it will send them back to the homepage.
This however doesnt work, you always get sent back to the default.aspx page, regardless of whether Session("Role") = Admin or not, as I have checked by using a MsgBox(Session("Role")), which returns "Admin".
Im thinking im using the wrong event, should I use something instead of Load?
Cheers,
Chris

mayank_joshi
where have you created Session("Role") ?
example for adding column:-
DataGridViewColumn col = new DataGridViewColumn();
DataGridViewCell cell = new DataGridViewTextBoxCell();
col.CellTemplate = cell;
col.HeaderText = "testing";
col.Name = "testing";
col.Visible = true;
col.Width = 60;
Please create the Session("Role") in the login page or where ever required then only check it because the sessions are not created automatically.
Sorry ignore my second post.It was meant to be for some other question.
