PreviousPage only works after a cross page postback. Beyond that, ASP.NET can't know what the last page was, how could it ? Do you understand how ASP.NET and the internet works ? They are stateless. Each request is unique and not part of a chain. You can CREATE a chain, by storing the name of the last page in the session, and checking it before you store it again ( check in events and page load, store in page prerender is a good pattern ). But, ask yourself first why you need to know, is there something wrong with your design as a whole ?

Actually i want to check whether the control is just passed from login page or from some another because if it's postbacked from login then it has to be redirected to specific page and if redirected from other pages then it has to be redirected to some other.
is it possible to check it without checking the session value specifically!!!

OK, the way to do that is, your login page should be redirected to when someone is not logged in, with a query string value, such as login.aspx?redir=myotherpage.aspx. It doesn't matter what you call it, but use the query string to tell the login page where it should redirect to. In general when you move from one page to another and want to tell the new page to do something different, use the query string.
