Question

I have a login control in login.aspx page that validates user by checking in database for username password using a stored procedure(Validation() method given below).I have used the following code

  protected void Login1_Authenticate(object sender, AuthenticateEventArgs e)
{
    if (Validation(Login1.UserName, Login1.Password))
    {

        Session["Logged"] = "Yes";
        Session["User"] = "Admin";
        Session["msg"] = "";
        e.Authenticated = true;
        Response.Redirect("/umkgp/admin/gallerymanager.aspx");
      //  "Successfully Logged In";

    }
     else
    {
        e.Authenticated = false;
    }

  }

Now when I am using LoginStatus control it is not changing display text from login to logout.I know that LoginStatus control based on IsAuthenticated property.In my case i guess IsAuthenticated is not set to true.How to make it work.Here is the code for LoginStatus control

 <asp:LoginView ID="HeadLoginView" runat="server" EnableViewState="false">
                <AnonymousTemplate>
                    [ <a href="/umkgp/admin/admin.aspx" ID="HeadLoginStatus" runat="server">Log In</a> ]
                </AnonymousTemplate>
                <LoggedInTemplate>
                    Welcome <span class="bold"><asp:LoginName ID="HeadLoginName" runat="server" /></span>!
                    [ <asp:LoginStatus ID="HeadLoginStatus" runat="server" LogoutAction="Redirect" LogoutText="Log Out" LogoutPageUrl="/umkgp/home.aspx" OnLoggingOut="Logout_Click"/> ]
                </LoggedInTemplate>
            </asp:LoginView>

(n.b.I have not used membership or roles).Please help me…

Replace this line

 Response.Redirect("/umkgp/admin/gallerymanager.aspx");

with this one

     FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(Login1.UserName,false);
   //this will tell the asp.net who logged in and it will redirect to the requested page or the default page

Update: If you want to set a default location go open your web.cofig file and find the authentication tag

and modify it this way

<authentication mode="Forms">
  <forms defaultUrl="~/mydefaultpage.aspx"/>
</authentication>
