  How to find Roles of Logged in User and send to different pages

  Dec 06, 2012 07:04 PM|LINK

  Hi,

  I am pretty new in ASP.NET c#. But i am getting a good hold of it. There are all the time new things a new learner comes up with though and spends hours together finding out a solution.

  Here is my issue.

  I have a ASP.NET membership setup. I have a asp login system on the website. I have created 2 roles Administrator and Users.

  I have 1 user in Administrator  and 1 in Users currently for my testing purpose.
  Now when the user logs in to the system i want to check there roles and if the role of teh logged in user is Administrator then send them to a specific folder called admin or else send them to the default.aspx in root directory.
  
  How do we find the Role of logged in user and redirect accordingly.
  
  Thanks in advance.
  
  Sunny

  Hi one_gk,

  Thanks for your reply.
  I was wondering what event should this mentioned if condition be placed in.
  Should it be Islogged event or OnAuthenticate ?
  I believe OnAuthenticate event is triggered when the Login button is clicked not on logging in.
  Can you be more specific on the solution.
  
  Thanks again.
  Sunny

  Why would i place it in Default.aspx ?
  Now if the Login control is in Login.aspx how would this work ?

  not the login control, but the checking role. If user admin then redirect to admin page.
