Question

After I run my program which is in MVC, the url it goes is Home/Index. Where to change this?
I want to check if the user is logged in, to redirect so some other page. If he isn’t logged in, then the url can be Home/Index.

You sort of asking two things.

You application automatically goes to Home/Index because of this, you’ll find the below code if you double click your Global.asax file.

public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
    routes.MapRoute(
        "Default", // Route name
        "{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
     new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } 
     );
}

Change the “Home” and “Index” strings for your custom default.

Now, for your login requirement, you could leave the default route and do this:

public class HomeController
{
 public ActionResult Index()
 {
   if(!Request.IsAuthenticated)//if NOT authenticated
   {//go somewhere else
    return RedirectToAction(actioName, controllertName); 
   } 
   //for logged in users
   return View();
 }
}
