forms authentication redirect problem.

[Donkey]

Hi i've made a loginpage and a protected one. If the user tries to
enter the protected page he gets redirected to the loginpage and at
this point everything works fine.

But when the user goes directly to the loginpage and types his pasword
it fails to login.

it tried to solve this with following code but this doesn't work
properly

if(Request.Querystring ("ReturnUrl")= "" ) then
Response.redirect("reservatie.aspx")
lblResult.Text = "juist maar niet ingelogd"
else
FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage (TextBox1.Text, True)
end if

Anyone an idea what i have to change to get this to work.

Thanks

Hi,

RedirectToLoginPage looks for the returnUrl query parameter. If none is there
you have to do the redirect on your own

a) You should check for null not "" on the query string
b) use FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie and do the redirect manually to
decouple what Rtlp does

thanks for the quick respons.
changed it to following code and now is everything working

FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(TextBox1.Text,false)
Response.Redirect("reservatie.aspx")
