Hi,

There are two pages one for the Admin and other for the normal user.Depending on the user they need to be redirected to a different page.I am writing the logic for the redirection in the httpmodule beginrequest handler.Both the pages share a common suffix(dashboard).But on being redirected I am entering into an infinite loop.Is there a way to stop the iteration once the redirection is done the first time??I am attaching a sample code 

Yes, you must be in infinite loop. You are checking if url contains Dashboard.aspx. Both - AdminDashboard.aspx and UserDashboard.aspx contain Dashboard.aspx. Instead of

if(HttpContext.Current.Request.RawUrl.Contains("Dashboard.aspx"))

you should check out if request is made to page calles Dashboard.aspx. To do this you have to check Reuqest object's path properties.

Thank You DigiMortal for the reply.

But again won't there be a infinite loop?What if the requested path is  ../AdminDashBoard.aspx and the user needs to be redireced to the same page?Sorry if I have misunderstood your answer.Might be sample code will help

 The way I tackled the issue is by redirecting to a common page LandingDashBoard(Non-Existent).And checking if the request is for LandingDashBoard.aspx,then redirect to the specific  dashboard page depending on the role.But this again suffers from the issue that if the user comes to know of the url of admin page then he will be able to browse it.

Is there a better way or better place to put in this logic??

DigiMortal the problem is there is no DashBoard.aspx.We have only two pages AdminDashBoard.aspx and UserDashboard.aspx.I am only trying to check if the user has requested for one of the DashBoard pages?
if he is being redirected to the correct page is there a way to stop the flow going back to the begin request handler?

This one doesn't work if application is not in site root. And if it is, it asks teh file /dashboard.aspx

Before trying hacks try to get file name from Request properties. It should be there even if file doesn't exist.

If you want to extract file name from RawUrl then follow these steps:

• Split RawUrl by using '/' as delimiter.
• Take string at last position of array you got.
• Split it by using '?' as delimiter.
• Take string at first position of array tou got.
• Make this string lowercase and see if it is "deashboard.aspx" or not.
