RedirectFromLoginPage

[Murphy]

I am trying to code a workaround to avoid being redirected to default.aspx
if the ReturnURL parameter is blank when the RedirectFromLoginPage method is
called.
Depending upon the login status the login button performs either a login or
logout and the appropriate image is displayed, see below:

'*******************************************************
' Displays the applicable image
'*******************************************************
Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
If Request.IsAuthenticated = true Then
imgSignInOut.ImageUrl="images/signout.gif"
End If
End Sub


Interestingly before I altered the code and simply used the code below after
the user completed a login everything worked perfectly:
FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(customerId,
RememberLogin.Checked)


If I check the value of ReturnUrl and do a manual redirect if blank using
the code below Request.IsAuthenticated remains false and as a result the
page load event above always displays the login image...
If Request.QueryString("ReturnUrl") ="" Then
Response.Redirect("./")
Else
FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(customerId,
RememberLogin.Checked)
End if


Any ideas ?

Thanks

Murphy

Cowboy (Gregory Beamer) has a kludge:

Alternatively, you could just create the ticket and set the cookie manually,
as well as do all redirection manually. You need to do this anyways to use
UserData (which I'm sure you can find a use for in your app).
