To ensure that users come from page1 before going to page2

Yeah, the problem has to be that his code is calling both methods. Funny how people ask for help, then don't answer with the details you need to help them

Hi guys,

I'm wondering if it there is a better way of doing this, I have 2 webpages, page1 and page2. I want to ensure that users would go to page1 before going to page2 (a button on page1, redirects it to page2), so that if the user types in the URL of page2, it will redirect to page1 first. I am currently using the Request.UrlReferrer.ToString() to get the the previous webpage and comparing it. If it is from page1 then page2 will open if not it will redirect to page1 (the code is below). I'm just wondering if there is a better way of doing this?

Thanks.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (!IsPostBack)
    {
        if (Request.UrlReferrer.ToString() != "page1")
        {
            Response.Redirect("page1");
        }
    }
}

I would put pages one and two on the same URL, as controls. Then I'd use viewstate to store if the user had viewed page one before allowing page 2 to show, and set something on the URL to show page 2.

Can that be easily done? I have a lot of controls in page1 and page2.

Yes, just move all the code from your aspx and aspx.cs to ascx and ascx.cs files. Then put those two controls on the one page.

Yes, but the more you use the ridiculous built in stuff, the less control you have over what's going on.

Im working with a social network. To change password I use following code

MembershipUser usr=Membership.GetUser(username);
usr.ChangePassword(usr.GetPassword("no answer"), newpassword);

But following error occur: Current membership provider is not configure to allow users to retrieve and reset their password.

How can I configure?

You have to have the membership provider configured to allow for reseting of password. This will be in the web.config file under 'membership' you need to make sure your provider is configured with enablePasswordReset="true"

Let's start with, your code is a bloody disaster.

1 - do you REALLY intend to deploy this code with localhost as the URL ? So, it will only run on the machine it's deployed to, never to a server ?
2 - your code obviously won't build a full path correctly, as there's no slash between myApp and test.doc.
3 - the Path class will let you build paths cleanly, most of the time.

Let's Say

I am downloading test.doc file to this path(localhost path) :

string localfile = http://localhost/myApp/test.doc

Now it showing me the error. I am using windows application.I added web service in that project.

I am using Fileinfo Class where I am getting error

FileInfo f = new FileInfo(localfile);
