Answer 1

So you're using the Login control? Add a handler to the LoginUser_LoggedIn event, and then redirect based on their role, if required.

<asp:Login ID="LoginUser" runat="server" OnLoggedIn="LoginUser_LoggedIn" >

protected void LoginUser_LoggedIn(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (Roles.IsUserInRole(LoginUser.UserName, "Applicant"))
        Response.Redirect("~/Detail.aspx");
    else
    {
        Response.Redirect("~/Welcome.aspx");
    }
}

Thanks Christian for your answer,

but I'm using a silverlight Business Application ,Response.Redirect() method doesn't work here, i need to change my xaml.cs file  which I think could be LoginStatus.xaml.cs & may be in the following part

private void Authentication_LoggedIn(object sender, AuthenticationEventArgs e)
        {
            this.UpdateLoginState();

        }

please reply if you can solve this..

You can subscribe to the WebContext.Current.Authentication.LoggedIn event, something like the following:

WebContext.Current.Authentication.LoggedIn +=(sender, e) =>
{
    // The user has logged in, navigate to the correct view
}

You could subscribe to this event in the several places, depending on your needs, e.g. in the MainPage.xaml.cs
