Redirecting the Users to different page based on there roles

Saturday, April 12, 2008

Hi,

While working with login control , you may need to redirect each user for a different page based on there roles.To do this , you can handle the LoggedIn event of login control( which will be fired after the user logged in successfully)


protected void Login1_LoggedIn(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// please don't use User.IsInRole here , because it will not be populated yet at this stage.

if (Roles.IsUserInRole(Login1.UserName, "Admins"))
Response.Redirect("~/Admins/Default.aspx");
else if (Roles.IsUserInRole(Login1.UserName, "Editors"))
Response.Redirect("~/Editors/Default.aspx");
}

Regards,

Why ? are you using windows authentication Or forms authentication ?
note sure why ..
did you wrote that code in the login control LoggedIn event ?

you can ask the question and show the details

It's not working for me either. My authentication mode is "Forms".
