Need helps with Button server control

[Martin_SBT]

Ok i have been spending days figuring this out so the one that will help me fix that will be my idol!!!!!!!!!! :)

I am building my asp.net project in VS2003 using VB.net

I got two forms: my startup form is used to logon to my project so it just contains Username and Password fields and a submit button. When clicking on the submit button, if password (and username) are valid i make a server.transfer to my second form that contains some texbox fields and a server control button. When i click on the button on my second form, instead of executing the code i wrote for the onClick event, it seem to execute ny logon form! (???????) what am i missing??? Please help me to understand why it is doing that

thanks in advance
Martin

the problem is you used Server.Transfer. Try Response.Redirect.

Why do not use formsauthentication?

Hi Jasonli

I was suspecting server.transfer to cause that problem so i did tested using response.redirect and it does the exact same thing!! (??)

What will be the benefits for me to use form authentication? I am not loging on to a web site or anything like that. My app actually logon to a third party software using an avalaible API. So my logon form send the username and password to the API and if they are valid then i do a server.transfer (or response.redirect that i just tested)

At least, if you use FormsAuthentication, after user logs out he can't access second webpage any longer until he logs back in.

I am not sure what your problem exactly is. Because there is only one button server control, that button is actually submit button.

You can post your code if you want. Maybe I could find something.

Actually i have more that one button on my second form. I didnt say anything about it cause i ddint know it was making any difference.

that still doesnt explain why when i click on a button of my second form it take me back to my logon form????

Anybody can help me understanding why it is doing that??

[Martin_SBT]

Anyone please? :cry:

When i click on my button on the second form, instead of executing the code of the On Click event it fire up my 1st form! Anyone can explain me why?

Thanks

[jasonli]

When you click the button, the first part of code that will run should be Page_Load. Did you check that part?

[Martin_SBT]

I Just learned something new! Thanks so much Jasonli!!!
In my page-load event i had a server.transfer to my main form! I am learning asp.net slowly and i didnt know that when i click a button on my webform, the page_load of that form will fire!!!

I will never thank you enough!!

many thanks

Martin :) :) :)
