How do we maintain the url after login in to the website.

For example, If we have a url http://www.dotnetfunda.com/post/postquestions.aspx, and we can't post questions without logged in. so, it should be redirected to a login page. After logging, user should be redirected to the same url.

I know we can do this by passing url as a query string and redirecting to the same url again. But I don't think this is the right way of doing it. Can you provide any other methods??

Mark this as answer, if it is.....

With regards

0	You can use Request.UrlReferrer When you will redirect to login page, Request.UrlReferrer will give you the last reference page. So after logged in again, you can easily redirect to the page. Hope this is clears to you. Please let me know if you have any concern. Cheers ! Abhijit Nishithraj, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator

0	Good Day Nishithraj Most of the Time we have usercontrols on the page and panels. lets say you a page that will allow you to post and you are not logged in. The First thing that will be checked there is the session of your username, if its null then you will be redirected to the login page or the popup will come up. in that case you are looking at the same page but different panels or control have been made visible and if they are not needed they are hidden. am not sure if this is clear tell me if its not.

0	Yes Abhijit is right. Request.UrlReferrer will be useful. Other than that, you can also use http:dotnetfunda.com/login.aspx?returl=http://www.dotnetfunda.com/post/postquestions.aspx I mean pass the whole url in querystring, if you have more than one step of login. Just pass the returl with your querystring. www.abhisheksur.com Nishithraj, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator
