Hello,

I am developing a ASP.NET web application using a frameset.
I have a header frame and a lower frame. The lower frame is divided to a left frame (which displays a menu) and a right frame which is my main frame in the application.
I am also using forms authentication.
When the session expires before the forms authentication timeouts, i am redirecting to my login page.
The problem is that after logging in again, the while frameset is placed in my main frame, so that now I have a frameset within a framset.

What should I do to fix that?

I use this function to check if the session has expired:
 
private void getVar()
{
  if (Session["myVar"] != null)
  {
    Password = Session["myVar"].ToString();
  }
  else
  {
    Session.Clear();
    FormsAuthentication.SignOut();
    Response.Redirect("../main.htm");
  }
}

Thank you,

Dana

Nooo!  Framesets :(  They are very old fashioned, and there are so many reasons not to use them (including this post!)!!  In asp.net they have a cool feature called master pages.  I would strongly recommend looking at them instead:)  They are not hard to use and will save you time later :)

Thank you for your reply. I know master pages and I've been using them in some other applications, but in this application the header changes and the left frame changes, so I thought I cannot use master pages.

I am using the header to show the application tabs. The user can switch between the tabs and so the header changes accordingly.

Am I still doing wrong using frameset and not master pages?

In my opinion.. yes!  Why can you not have a content place holder within the header section of the page?  Then you can add what ever you like to it from other pages?  If the left changes add a content place holder there as well :)

Thank you,

I'll do that

No problem,  could you "mark as answer" if any of the helped you?
