Question

i have created a MVC application , without using asp.net membership provider, i want to redirect the user to the login page if the user logged out and press back button from explorer.

Thanks

You can’t do this, as the page the user see when clicking ‘back’ is in fact the cached version of the page.

The best you can do is request the browser to not cache logged in pages, to do this you would place:

Response.Cache.SetCacheability(HttpCacheability.NoCache);

on all pages you consider shouldn’t be ‘back button’ accessible.

This is only a request however, browsers are under no obligation to oblige.
