Question

After authentication, asp.net redirects my users to …/myapp/default.aspx instead of …/myapp/

Is there some way of fixing this? I think it’s a little ugly not to mention redundant to contain the extra default.aspx on the url.

I’ve tried putting the following code in my default.aspx.cs page_load function, but it results in a redirect loop because it cannot distinguish whether the user is accessing myapp/ or myapp/default.aspx:

if (Request.RawUrl.ToLower().EndsWith("/default.aspx"))
  Response.Redirect("./");

Thanks!

If you are using a login control, decide yourself how the redirect will happen.
Use the login control’s event (I think it is Authenticate) and:

if (Request.QueryString["ReturnUrl"] != null)  
{  
    FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage("someuserid", false);  
}  
else  
{  
    FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie("someuserid", false);  
    Response.Redirect("~/SomePage.aspx");  
}
