Redirecting from a user control

[russellobrien]

I have a user control in C# and when a selection in a drop list changes I catch this event in the user control itself and then try to use repsonse.redirect to the same page appending a query string base on the selection,

However, this doesn't work. Can anyone tell me how I do this from a user control or some way to reflect this event to the page itself?

Many thanks,

Russ

What exactly isn't working? Are you getting 404's?

If you're trying to redirect based on a parent path:

../../somefile.aspx?blah=foo

then try using root notation:

/applicationname/folder/file.aspx?blah=foo

so that no matter where the uc is in the directory structure of your application, the redirect path is the same.

This is what I was thinking,
Response.Redirect(Request.ServerVariables["SCRIPT_NAME"] + "?qsName=" + qsValue);

That would also work, but it doesn't handle if you're trying to redirect to a different page than the one you're on.

Thanks,

The main problem is not that I cannot go back to the page- it reloads ok rather that the selected index is not appended to the query string as I have programmed, or at least it is not recognised by the page on reload. I have the event redirecting but because the control autopastbacks I don't think it ever makes it into the event handler (at least I don't see trace evidence) but I presume the reload means the trace I see is only from the reload page.
I will put some brakpoints in and see where execution goes.
