Redirecting a user

[timothy2l]

If a user clicks on a link and then is redirected to a login page, once they login, how do you redirect them to the page they were initially requesting?

 

response.redirect("??????")

 

Thanks

Are you using web.config for your security?

[timothy2l]

No, im just using session variables to keep track of the login.

In this case, you can use your session to store the page URL

Sorry, I think Cookies is better

[mr relaxo]

how about just storing the page they came from in a session variable like

session("lastpage") = request.currentexecutionfilepath

 

and then after a successful login just return them to that page

 

Server.Transfer(Session("lastpage"))

[bungpeng]

Of course you can do that, but since Session (server) will use more resource, normally people use it when login success. It is also depend on your environment.

 

If Cookies is allows in Client site, then try to avoid using server Session.
