Question

Sachin Singh · Answer

obviously it will be null, in addition to Kiran's code do one thing , store returnUrl in viewbag and then send it from the view. [AllowAnonymous] public ActionResult Login(string returnUrl) { viewbag.RU=returnUrl; if (Url.IsLocalUrl(returnUrl)) { return Redirect(returnUrl); } else { return RedirectToAction( "Index" , "Home" ); } return View(); } "/Account/Login" method= "post" > ..... user name and password field "hidden" value= "@viewbag.RT" /> "submit" value= "submit" />

There is a special query string called ReturnUrl , that you can observe in url when a user request a page before login. so after successful login redirect the user to "ReturnUrl" .

Hi, You will have "returnUrl" defined in the query string. (Ex:- xyz.com?returnUrl=home20%DisplayUser). You can add below code to handle such URL requests. [AllowAnonymous] public ActionResult Login(string returnUrl) { if (Url.IsLocalUrl(returnUrl)) { return Redirect(returnUrl); } else { return RedirectToAction( "Index" , "Home" ); } return View(); }
