Question

Ok, I have an default.aspx page that I’m trying to have redirect the user to a different page depending on whether or not their deviceId is stored in the SQL Server database. It should direct the user to the login.aspx if the record for the user is found or to the newdevice.aspx page if there was no record found. I want this to occur on Page_Load but have not been able to figure it out so far.

Answer 1

This is the basic idea on how to do it 🙂

Sub Page_Load()
{

//Acquire the User ID or email etc which can uniquely identify the user

SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("SELECT COUNT(deviceId) from DeviceIDTable WHERE UserID=UserID",con);

if (cmd.ExecuteScalar().ToString() != "1") 
{
   Response.Redirect("newdevice.aspx");
}
else 
{
   Response.Redirect("login.aspx");
}

}
