Redirect not working properly when using a timer??

[BigRedTexas]

I'm trying to redirect to a certain page after 3 seconds but when the timer fires off and it hits the redirect, nothing happens. If I put the same redirect code behind a button, it works fine. Does anyone have a clue what could be causing this?

Need to see code how you wired up the timer. That'l do donkey, that'l do

Zarcom, here goes:

"Private Sub tmrRedirect_Elapsed(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs) Handles tmrRedirect.Elapsed


Dim respString As String
respString = viewState("RouteForm&quot + "?UserName=" + viewState("UserName&quot
respString = respString + "&UserPriv=" + viewState("UserPriv&quot + "&Training=" + bTraining.ToString + "&BranchManagerId=" + viewState("BranchManagerId&quot
Response.Redirect(respString)

End Sub"

This is fired off by the timer which I first set in the Page_Load but now have it just set in the properties grid of the timer itself in the designer. What is also weird is after the redirect, the code hits the same redirect again. Any help you can give me would be good.

Thanks, Scott

Have you tried stepping through to see if the timer elapsed event is being fired?

Even though you set the properties in the designer you still have to start the timer.

i would do a step through to see if the response.redirect is gettting hit. That'l do donkey, that'l do

Zarcam, that's just it, I did step through it and it's hitting it every time. That's why I'm confused.

I am not sure what you mean then does it just jump over the redirect statment and keep goin? I am not sure what you meant when you said this:What is also weird is after the redirect, the code hits the same redirect again

Not sure if this is related or not but stop the timer before redirecting. Since a redirect stops execution of the current page and goes to a new one.
