How to redirect from one ASP.NET page to another

Question

How do I redirect from one ASP.NET page to another (\"Webform2.aspx\") by means of a button?

Answer 1

set PostBackUrl property of button, like this :

button1.PostBackUrl= "Webform2.aspx";

Answer 2

Well there are lot of ways. Response.Redirect, Server.Transfer, Javascript call to the page.

Javascript call is required when u have no server side actions for the button. onclick="javascript:window.location.href = Webform2.aspx?id='<%=Request.QueryString["id"]%>'"

Server.Transfer will do a re-direct at server side. i.e, The browser will still show after the response from webform2. Webform1.aspx will re-direct the request to webform2 and webform2 will give the req. (Req = 1, Res = 1)

Response.Redirect: webform1 will send a response asking the browser to make a new request to webform2. In this case, the browser will change the url as it is making a new req to webform2.(Req = 1 + 1, Res = 1+1)

There is one more way, form.submit() if you are interested. The traditional html form submit.

Forgot to mention the best of all, the cross-page postback with PostBack url.. http://aspdotnetcode.source-of-humor.com/TipsAndTricks/General/CrossPagePostbackAspNetCrossPagePostback.aspx
