this doesn't work for me as i need to restrrict user from bookmarking it and i cannot control the incoming url and the target url too...can u pls help me out with another solution...

I dont think there is any way to do that. Why do you want the user to restrict the URL?

i wanted to do that bcoz i doesn't want the user to bookmark that page .....and do u think url rewrite would be an option???

here is some discussion that maybe helpful.

It is possible to send post request, so url have only part of the information and bookmarked page would fail.

can smeone help me out with this i am stuck here..plzzz

Will a post operation work for you?

If a get request is sent, all of query parameters can be seen from the url and can be bookmarked.

as in: getData.aspx?x=5&y=6

however, if it is a post request,

the url will only be getData.aspx and if next time a user goes to this page, it will fail.

let me know if you need an example of sending a post request

pls send me an example that would be great....

this is the code I stole from other people

private XmlDocument FetchXMLfromPostData(String URI, string Parameters)
    {
       System.Net.WebRequest req = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(URI);

            req.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
            req.Method = "POST";

            byte[ bytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(Parameters);
            req.ContentLength = bytes.Length;

            System.IO.Stream os = req.GetRequestStream();
            os.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
            os.Close();

            System.Net.WebResponse resp = req.GetResponse();
            if (resp == null) return null;

            System.IO.StreamReader sr = new System.IO.StreamReader(resp.GetResponseStream());
           

            Response.Write(sr.ReadToEnd().Trim());

}

thanks and is the URI is the place we have to input the url to which it is redirected??and what would be the parameters??

my url looks smethng like this...http://192.168.22.11/hdjd/mls-updates.pdf this is where the content is...

 how you generate your pdf file?

this would be a sample how you call the function

 string params = "address=123 street&city=chicago&state=il&zip=12345&uname=me&pwd=him"

        xdoc = this.FetchXMLfromPostData(yoururl, params);
