Communicating between login.aspx and default.aspx

I'm new to web development. I have a login.aspx page that has an Asp.Net login control on it. When the users logs in and it successfully authenticates, the page automatically redirects to default.aspx. I assume this is some kind of default behavior?

But, I actually need the login information from the login page in default.aspx.cs. How do I get this information from that context?

In addition, I'm not always going to count on the user successfully logging in with the login c开发者_C百科ontrol-- If I want to redirect to default.aspx without a login event occurring, how can I do that while also passing the login information being used?

You can call Membership.GetUser() to get the currently-logged-in user.

You can do this sort of thing anywhere in your web app now that the user is authenticated and logged in.

        MembershipUser mu = Membership.GetUser();

        if (mu.PasswordQuestion == null || mu.PasswordQuestion.Length < 3)
        {
            Response.Redirect("~/Account/ChangePasswordQuestion.aspx");
        }

If you need to get the username only, you can get it like..

HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.Name// it will return current logined username

Otherwise you can put the value in a session variable and then access it in the default page.

Use LoginView control
