Auto-redirect in Application_Beginrequest?

[Ben Fidge]

In certain situations I'd like to prevent users from accessing my
default.aspx page and automatically redirect them to an alternative page.

Would it be feasible to do this in Application_Beginrequest in global.asax,
or is there a better way.

This functionality needs to be configured on a per-session basis.

You should not do it in Application_BeginRequest if you reply upon Session
because Session has not yet been loaded and made avaialable at that point.
Instead you should do it in Application_PreRequestHandlerExecute.

Hi Brock,

Thanks for your response. Hope you had a nice xmas.

How would I go about doing this? Should I just use standard
Response.Redirect()?

ie:

if (Request.RawUrl.ToUpper().IndexOf("DEFAULT.ASPX") > -1) {
Response.Redirect("otherdefault.aspx");
}

Thanks

That will work. When you said above you rely upon session, you're talking
about session state?
