Loading Another Page Programmatically 2

[WoundEdGoat]

Could someone please tell me how to load another page programmatically? What I'm trying to accomplish is for the user to login information and be taken to the profile page (or something similar to such a thing) via a button click. I unfortunately have no idea how to send the program to another page without a hyperlink.

Your help is much appriciated. Thanks.

Two common ways:

[green]'tells the client to request a different page[/green]
Response.Redirect("AnotherPage.aspx")

[green]'starts executing another page (but the client doesn't know it.)[/green]
Server.Transfer("AnotherPage.aspx")

I prefer Response.Redirect().

Greetings,

One other thing, how would I pass parameters back and forth between pages using this method?

Thanks.

you could use query strings

Response.Redirect("AnotherPage.aspx?ID=" & loginID)

Perfect. Thanks guys.

Oops... Just realized that I don't know how to catch the query strings on the targat page. Help?

Could use,
string qsValue = Convert.ToString(Request.QueryString["qsName"]);

Ah. Thanks. I'll try that right away.

Thanks dragonwell. I have a cancel button that I'd like to take the user one page back. How do I do that?

 

[checkai]

javascript

history.go(-1);

I was hoping for something I could put in the code behind file:

Private Sub cmdCancel_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdCancel.Click

End Sub

 

[checkai]

you can add the attribute to the button in the code behind...

btn.attributes.add("onclick","javascript: history.go(-1); return false;")

Guys,
I've got a Cancel and a Save button (with a required validator on the Save). I have a textbox also. When the user clicks the Save button, the validation is done to ensure the textbox is populated, and then it executes the Save code:

Response.Redirect("nextpage.aspx")

When the user clicks the Cancel button, I'd like the application to:
1. Skip the validation on the textbox
2. Go back one page

When I use the code suggested:

    Private Sub cmdCancel_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdCancel.Click
        cmdCancel.Attributes.Add("onClick", "javascript: history.go(-1); return false;")
    End Sub

it doesn't work! When I click on cancel, the validation is done (i.e. checks if the textbox is populated, and will not continue until it is). After I populate the textbox and hit cancel, it just reloads the page!

Why is that?

Thanks

You don't want the Cancel button to cause validation? just put CausesValidation="False" in the button tag's attributes.

<asp:Button runat="server" CausesValidation="False" id="cmdCancel" Text="Cancel" />
