When you LogIn check the Session you have created,if it is not created than redirect to LogIn page. During LogOut clear all session you have created by using Session.Abandon()

When i login Session Get created... and works...!! on logout button i m using Session.Abandon() to clear all the values. i put my session timeout: 360.
but when my session is Expires that time its by default goes to login.aspx
i want when session expires for usertype A and B it should go on login.aspx.
for usertype C it should go to loginC.aspx....

Solution 2

You cannot detect the user type unless User has signed in into your system.
You can try to provide a control like radio button or drop down for all user types A, B and C. Now depending upon the selection made by the user at the time of logging in you can display the intended master page programatically.

have you read all the comments?

Yes have read all the comments.
Think of a real world example like you want to provide question papers to students appearing for examinations. Now unless you are aware of their courses how can you provide them with the relevant question papers, for example: you will ask student whether they have appeared for MBA exam or BTech exam or MTech exam.....
Now after student will tell you the exact course for which they are giving examination you will be able to server them with appropriate question paper.
