This is only valid if a session for that variable was created and you are checking for its value. But if someone requests this page directly, it will throw an error stating Object refrence not set.

Buy a really basic book and read it. The code is CHECKING if the value is null.

No he wasn't wrong. I had a bit concern, if a user tries to access the page directly, without following the normal routine, then the session variable which i would be checking on my page, would never have existed. Hence i put out a check over there nd followed with the rest of the suggestions provided by all of u.

U r right. And to stop a user accessing a page even after logout, i simply disabled the browsers back button after logout through javascript.

Make all the session variables null before logout.
