In this case you are correct, you don't want to do a post back.

Let's step back. You could do this all a lot more simply and
efficiently in your login process. Why wait for the user to hit this
page and have to re-retrieve their information? To perform the login
you need access all this information anyway, why not use it or least
grab it then.
Here's what I'd do...
function Login(username, pwd) as Boolean
Dim Success as Boolean = False
'retrieve user record from the db by username
Dim dr as DataRow = GetUserByName(username)
if not IsNothing(dr) then
'have a user, see if the passwords match
Dim pwdDB as string = dr("Password")
if pwdDB = pwd then
Success = True
'Set Authentication Cookie
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(username, false)
'Send email
SendMail(dr("UserID"), dr("Email"))
End if
ENd if
Return Success
end function
private function GetUserByName(userName as string) as DataRow
'Create connection
'Fill Datatable with DataAdapter
'return row if one is found
End function
private const SEND_TO_ADDRESS = "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
private sub SendMail(userID as string, From as string)
Dim objMsg As New System.Web.Mail.MailMessage()
With objMsg
.To = SEND_TO_ADDRESS
.From = From
.Subject = userID
.Body = "Logged in: " & DateTime.Now().ToString()
End With
System.Web.Mail.SmtpMail.Send(objMsg)
end sub
If you need help on the database stuff, let me know.
Also, unless you have opened up your email server, you might not be
able to use the user's email address as the FROM setting. You might
just want to include their email address in the body and use a set
FROM address.
Another note, I've used a constant hre, but I'd usually set the TO
address in the web.config file and retrieve it from there, so it could
be changed without having to recompile the code. I'd do the same for
the FROM address as well.
ToAddress = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ToAddress")
