FormsAuthentication.DefaultUrl Property

.NET Framework 4.5

Gets the URL that the FormsAuthentication class will redirect to if no redirect URL is specified.

Namespace: System.Web.Security
Assembly: System.Web (in System.Web.dll)

public static string DefaultUrl { get; }

Property Value

Type: System.String
The URL that the FormsAuthentication class will redirect to if no redirect URL is specified. The default is "default.aspx."

Remarks

The DefaultUrl property value is set in the configuration file for an ASP.NET application by using the defaultUrl attribute of the forms configuration element. The DefaultUrl property is used by the RedirectFromLoginPage method if no return URL is included in the request. Similarly, the GetRedirectUrl method will return the DefaultUrl if no return URL is included in the request.

Examples

The following code example sets the defaultUrl attribute in the Web.config file.

<authentication mode="Forms">
  <forms loginUrl="member_login.aspx"
    defaultUrl="index.aspx" />
</authentication>
