Can you do this in your login button click event:

switch (role)
    {
     case 0:
      Response.Redirect("MainPage.aspx");
      break;
     case 1:
      Response.Redirect("StaffPage.aspx");
      break;
     case 2:
      Response.Redirect("UserPage.aspx");
      break;
}

you need to set role value in your validate user code.

Just saw your re-edited question... What is your navigation like? What controls do you use? what kind of MembershipProvider (if any) do you use?

You may still try to use a treeView or a menu control (bound to a sitemap file). Using these controls allows you to make use of securityTrimming (see msdn for details).

eg (from msdn):

<system.web>
<!-- …other configuration settings -->
  <siteMap defaultProvider="XmlSiteMapProvider" enabled="true">
    <providers>
      <add name="XmlSiteMapProvider"
        description="Default SiteMap provider."
        type="System.Web.XmlSiteMapProvider "
        siteMapFile="Web.sitemap"
        securityTrimmingEnabled="true" />
    </providers>
  </siteMap>
</system.web>

This attribute will change the visibility of links appearing in your navigation controls. For example users with a role admin - will only see those links they are allowed to navigate to.

Could you please show us your navigation controls? thx in advance

i just added your config snippets to your question - but i am still missing some membership Provider configuration.. could please post it here or add it to your question! – Pilgerstorfer Franz Nov 10 '11 at 08:31
where can i find the membership provider?is it from the databse or where? – braveen kumar Nov 10 '11 at 16:37
To be able to use memberships and roles asp.net has to store/manage them. there are some possibilites (sql server, windows, ...) usually there is a membership tag in your root web.config. you may try to find it by using the webSite administration tool, too. – Pilgerstorfer Franz Nov 10 '11 at 16:51
there are 3 roles there which is adminstrator,user and staff – braveen kumar Nov 10 '11 at 17:49
