ReDirect - Please Help

[PaulThomas]

Working with XP-Pro and VS.Net I have set my Start Page to "Home.aspx" but
the application always starts the "Login" page - - - How can I change the
start page to the Home.aspx???
On the login page that displays I have
private void LinkButton1_Cli ck(object sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
bool MyVar = true;
Msg.Text = "ReDirectin g to Home.aspx";
Response.Redire ct("Home.aspx", MyVar);
}
AND.....
private void LinkButton2_Cli ck(object sender, System.EventArg s e)
{
Msg.Text = "ReDirectin g to Home.aspx";
Response.Redire ct("Home.aspx", MyVar);
}
Using debug I see that both buttons just re-load the Login page and
re-execute the Login page Page_Load event???
WHY / HOW can I get the ReDirects to work?

I am so frustrated - please help me understand WHY these don't work.

Thanks in advance,
Paul

Hi Paul,

Are you running any type of authentication (Forms or Windows)? That could
keep sending people back to the login page. Good luck! Ken.

Re: ReDirect - Please Help

YES - I am using
<authenticati on mode="Forms" />
Does this affect "all" pages - I guess I need to do some more serious
reading...

I "thought" that if a page required security - I would code for it in the
individual pages that need it. I should be able to put up pages that do not
require security and go directly to them without validation - right?

Thanks for the clue...
Paul

Re: ReDirect - Please Help

Hi Paul,

This is a fast fix. In your Web.config use location tags like below to only
protect folders that need protecting. For home pages don't protect that.
Good luck! Ken.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuratio n>

<location path="Members/Administrator">
<system.web>
<authorizatio n>
<allow roles="Administ rator"></allow>
<deny users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>

<location path="Members/OtherUserType">
<system.web>
<authorizatio n>
<allow roles="UserType One, UserTypeTwo"></allow>
<deny users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>

<system.web>
.......

<authorizatio n>
<allow users="*" /> <!-- Allow all users, the location tags will protect
folders. -->
</authorization>
