Passing variable between asp login page and the redirected page

Hi All

I have an asp.net 2.0 web with a standard login control

I want to pass some extra variables to the redirected page after the successful login

I just can't get it to work. help much appreciated

--------------------------
Protected Sub Login1_Authenticate(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Web.UI.WebControls.AuthenticateEventArgs) Handles Login1.Authenticate

Context.Items.Clear()

Context.Items.Add("UserNamevalue", Me.Login1.UserName)

Context.Items.Add("mydbkeyvalue", 2)

FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage("steve", False)

Server.Transfer("~/memberpages/demos.aspx", True)

End If

Catch ex As Exception

Response.Write(ex.Message)

End Try

End Sub

---------------------------------------

In a link button onclick event on the demos.aspx

Me.lblsamupdate.Text = "Context " & Context.Items("UserNamevalue").ToString

I get error 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object'

Why???Hello Steve,

I don't see how you can expect this to work:

FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage("steve", False)
Server.Transfer("~/memberpages/demos.aspx", True)

Your first line causes the browser to request the redirect page.
the second line (Server.Transfer) will never execute.

Also, you could either stick the items into a cookie(s) or put them in
Session.
