Please see the image below

enter image description here

As you can see I have a master page Design.master and the code behind it that is called Design.master.cs.

I am simply trying to get my page to redirect to dashboard.aspx when the user is not logged it, but no matter what I try I can’t get it do it.

I want to be able to access the value of the public variable redirect, which is set in the code behind and access it from the Design.master code.

So that I can check the variable and put the Response.redirect() code in the Design.master page.

Unless you know how to get the Redirect to work from the Design.master.cs code?

Please help 🙁 It’s driving me INSANE!

    Just do it in your Page_Load method from Design.master.cs:

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e){
   if (result){
      Response.Redirect("....");
   }
}

    This is much neater than having code breaks in your markup file, and that technique will only bite you back in the future.
