I was creating login page rearging to the course on Role-based Security with Forms Authentication[^] but my returnUrl is always null. Can someone give me some tips how to solve that problem?
Here the code where the problem is occurring:

C#

string returnUrl = Request.QueryString["ReturnUrl"];
                    if (returnUrl == null) returnUrl = "AboutUs.aspx";  Response.Redirect(returnUrl);

After successful login you should redirect your user to defualt page or Dashboard page.

how you test? run your create breakpoint on above line and run your website, if you already login to site, first log off and write some other url(don't enter login page and default page url), now what is the value you get as return url?

I am starting to learn how to write web pages so my tests are quite simple. I am tesing it by displaying messageLabel texts in my code in method btnLogin_Click. Then I see that my rader reads data and enters to the if statement. I also change returnUrl to different pages eg. instead of AboutUs I put Rooms, Contact etc and it always returns to this page which I entered.
I created brakepoint on above line and my resutl was the same - redirects me to page which I eneterd. Maybe it will be stupid question but by writing "don't enter login page and default page url" you ment not to write it in web.config?
