I fully undertand all that and have used it many times. But I've also not used it because we had other concerns or design issues or plain old bloody minded architects that didn't like it. Either way it is not the answer to everything.

I didn't say it was. What is your problem? You're not right: it isn't the only answer and I already said that custom wasn't either.

Okay@ let's pretend you have a site with a Master Page, Default.aspx, Links.aspx, Contacts.aspx and Login.aspx. The only 2 pages that anyone can see without some form of authentication are Default and Login. If they try to access any other page they get redirected to LOgin if the Session variable that tracks their status is empty. If you create an attribute that checks for their status and redirects accordingly from the Master Page that should help to solve your issue. What you will also have to do is to, for example, maybe have some code underlying a menu click option that tracks the page they were trying to get to and pass that into the session variable. See how you get on: I think you should be able to figure out the rest of it from here.

Thanks a lot. but I don't seem to understand what and how to imlement that attribute you are saying. Do you mean a property?

What the hell is your problem? You start off with "That does not suit every occasion - it is wrong to tell people that." That was a very offensive attitude to begin an open discussion with. Followed up with "Your're not right" shows a lack of respect for other viewpoints and the people who present them. There is no right or wrong, we have choices. I stand by my comments that in this case the OP should not be creating a mechanism that already exists. You can disagree, but you don't have to be disagreable.

You found that offensive? Grow up: I thought that fairly polite. Take it howver you want, I suppose.

Rubbish. There is always more than one way to skin a cat and just because MS give you something for free doesn't mean you have to use it.

I think you need to start figuring some of this out for yourself: there is a lot of information about attributes all over the web and especially within Code Project..

As I've been trying to point out if you use the built-in mechanism all of this is handled for you, plus other benefits.

Hello everyone, How do I automatically redirect someone back to a page he/she wishes to see before taken to login or signup page? Case Study 1: I want to shop online and I was to checkout and pay for the product, but the site mandated it on me that I must register with them before I could proceed (I think it's for profile purpose) or simply sign in if I am an existing user. Then after that, I was taken back to my checkout page, made payment and went out. Case Study 2: I launched this site, view forum post and click to read one but was redirected to login/signup page. After successful login, I was automatically redirected back to the post I wanted to read. Case Study n... How can I implement same in my asp.net application? Thank you all for your usual support.
Step 1) When you redirect user to the Login page (i.e. Login.aspx) pass the current url in Query string. i.e.
Response.Redirect("Login.aspx?PreviousPage=" + Request.AppRelativeCurrentExecutionFilePath.ToString());
Step 2) In the Login Page, after you authenticate user, Redirect the user back to the page in the query string. i.e.
if(Request.QueryString["PreviousPage"] != null)
Response.Redirect(Request.QueryString["PreviousPage"].ToString());
else
Response.Redirect("Some where else, might be your products page etc..."); -

Passing the page that performed the redirect to your login would be quite easy. Just use a querystring. e.g default.aspx
//get the current page url
String url = Page.Request.RawUrl;//redirect the page to your new one
Response.Redirect(String.Format(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, "~/login.aspx?pp={0}", url));login.aspx
//get the url of the previous page.
if(Request.RawUrl.Contains("?pp="))
{
string previousPage = Request.QueryString["pp"]);
}Once you have your value you could use the login control LoggedIn event to redirect to you original page using the query string you have captured. I know it's a chore but I heartily recommend getting a book on Asp.Net. Most beginners books will have plenty of information about this. Good luck!

Good advice - take it.
