hey every1.. my problem is that i have 2 user modes.. one for 'administrator' and other for 'normal user'.. now they both ll view different pages when they login to their account.. hw do i do this.. from the login page.. whoever logs in goes to the same page but i want to redirect different user to different places depending upon their roles..

plss guys any help will be much appreciated..

You will have to set up roles for different users. When the user logs in, get all the roles the user belongs to and redirect them as needed. Also use the roles to show only the pages they are allowed to access.

i m having problems n redirecting the user.. can u pls help me on messenger... my id is slice2116 for yahoo..

1. when a person enters his login information.. i m nt able to find what role he has on that page itself.. i have to create a new page where i first find out the role of the user.. can i do it on the login page itself??

2. after i get the roles in a string array, how do i pick out only a single string from the array.

3. i tried to redirect the user, but it gave me error. how do i do that.

I m very sorry for asking so many questions but if you ll answer any of the above, i wud be really grateful

You have a lot of questions and really need to do some research. For the roles part of it, you need to look into membership providers and how to implement them. You need to set a DB to handle log ins roles etc using aspnet_reg.exe. Take some time to investigate.

ok thanks.. can i ask u for some help..if that is possible..

Sure post any questions you have here. There are lots of examples and posts out there that will help you. Also, VS help is a good place to start. Look up using the the login control. There will be links on how to use it and what you need to do to set up the DB and memebership providers. That is how I got my start with it.
