Question

iam trying to tell the page to open a certain aspx if it exists otherwise it should redirect to another page here the code iam using:

   protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    string str = "~/User" + "/" + Page.User.Identity.Name + "/" + Page.User.Identity.Name + ".aspx";
    FileInfo fi = new FileInfo(str);
    if (fi.Exists) {
        Response.Redirect(str);
    }
    else {
    Response.Redirect("Page.aspx");
        }
}

but i will always redirect to the page.aspx even if the original page exists

thanks

You need to pass the full path to FileInfo. Use Server.MapPath to map from your virtual path to a full path, like this:

string str = "~/User" + "/" + Page.User.Identity.Name + "/" + Page.User.Identity.Name + ".aspx";
string path = Server.MapPath(str);
if (File.Exists(path)) 
{
    Response.Redirect(str);
}
else
{
    Response.Redirect("Page.aspx");
}
