Question

Can anyone help me? I am taking a session value in variable like

var user = Session["UserName"]; 

and by this i will get username of an employee who is logged in. Now I want designation of that employee so I wrote

var data=from u in db.EmployeeTabs.Where(p=>p.EmpName==user).Select(v=>v.Designation)   

Now variable data will probably contain the designation of employee who is logged in. Now I want a condition, based on the condition I want to redirect the page so I want an if condition like

if(val(data)=="Receptionist") 

then it should display a Register.cshtml page, so for that what should I write?
And where to write? Means in an controller? Or i should create some method in controller?

I would recommend reading this tutorial Making some assumptions about your code, I think you want something like

public ActionResult Index()
{          
    var user = Session["User"];
    using (var db = new YourEntity())
    {
        var data = from u in db.EmployeeTabs.Where(p => p.EmpName == user).Select(v => v.Designation);
        if (data == null)
        {
           return RedirectToAction("Register");
        }

        Switch(data.First().Designation)
        {
           case "Receptionist":
               return RedirectToAction(Register);
        }
   }

   return View();
}

public public ActionResult Register()
{
    return View();
}
