loginstatus control not directing to login page if on a custom url

Question

I have public user profile links like example.com/user/username.

I have a loginstatus control in master page.

if i am on a user page, lets say; example.com/user/testuser and i click on Login, it won't redirect me to Login.aspx. Instead gives a 404 error.

How can this be solved?

Thanks for help.

Answer 1

i had problems with relative paths as well. after going through some articles on web. (one of them is this http://www.ifinity.com.au/Blog/EntryId/46/Why-does-Url-Rewriting-break-all-my-image-links) i resolved the problem by setting rebaseClientPath to false in Context.RewritePath in Global.asax.

Wherever you write your URLs in your MasterPage or WebUSerControl, use the ResolveUrl() method, as such:

<a href='<%=ResolveUrl("~/MyLoginPage.aspx")%>'>Login</a>

This will ensure that you will get to the right page regardless of the current locationnn.
