Custom redirectURL

[Water Cooler v2]

In Forms based authentication mode, say my login page has to be
redirected to "db.aspx" if the login was successful, how do I supply
this redirect without a Response.Redirect() using FormsAuthentication
class?

If I simply say,

If MyDatabaseUserAuthenticationMethod(txtUserName.Tex t,
txtPassword.Text) Then
FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(txtUserN ame.Text, False)
Else
lblMessage.Text = "Please jump into the well and die."
End If

and if the user logs in correctly, then he will, by default, be
redirected automatically to the "default.aspx" page if it exists. If
the page does not exist, he will come back to the login page because no
where in the login page have we specified an equivalant of the
primitive "action" attribute that tells whom to POST the page to, so
the same page will recieve a POSTBACK.

How do I tell ASP.NET that if the forms based authentication is
successful, take this guy to this page, say, "db.aspx"?

it depends on what the user initially requested ,,,

if he comes to www.yourdomain.com the default is ofcourse default.aspx
( however you may change this in IIS )
and will after succesfull validation be redirected to this page

however if was asked www.yourdomain.com/db.aspx then it willredirect to
this page and not to the default page
without you having to write a single line of code . :-)
