Can someone tell me the code that I should use to password protect an ASP.Net page?

I have an ASP.net page for password protection that is named login.aspx.

In ASP, you would do something like:

if Session("UserName") = "" then
Session("Message") = "You must log in before viewing that page!" response.redirect "Login.asp"
end if

Hm, well, you could use the ASP.NET Forms security system. I don't have much time now, so you should read about it in your MSDN library, or google for it.

I agree with Diep use Forms authetication, that way you don't have to put any extra code on pages, you juse define your login.aspx site and set the requirements in your web.config. 4guysfromrolla has an excellent article on that.

If you want the equivalent code in .net as classic asp try

if (Session["username"] == null || Convert.ToString(Session["username"]) == "")
{
Session["message"] = "You must log in before viewing this page";
Response.Redirect("Login.aspx");
}
