Simple Navigation Question...

[RichS]

I am new to ASP.NET.

I have a function that validates a user. If it succeeds it want to go to a different page. Can I do this in the code behind file? If not what is the best way to take a user to another page based on a condition?


Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
' If this is a Postback check the credentials against the db
If Page.IsPostBack Then
If funValidateUser() > 0 Then
Consultant.UserName = txtUserName.Text
' Here I want to redirect...
'Response.Redirect("TopicList.aspx&quot
Else
lblMessage.Text = "The credentials entered where invalid."
End If
End If
End Sub

' Here I want to redirect...
'Response.Redirect("TopicList.aspx&quot

Just take the comment off of your response.redirect.

I would suggest that you check into the built in form validation. It provides a much smoother way to validate your users. Just go into your help and look up Forms Authentication, the Simple Forms Authentication article provides an excellent example to follow. Other places to look for tutorials are

Oops, I meant to uncomment that before I submitted the post. It seems the actual error was how I was addressing the label control.

Thanks for the validation info.

My oops! Just so that I make sure I didn't confuzzle you I meant to say Authentication not validation. The word validation is generally with regard to checking the data on the form not for user log ins
