URGENT: How to force a postback with asp.net and C#

Question

I have a demo scheduled with a client and i need a quick and dirty fix for now. I will find a more appropriate work around tomorrow but for the time being i need a way to force a post back, or refresh the page.

i tried: Response.Redirect("");

but it brings me to a page that says "Object moved to here". 'here' is a hyperlink that brings me to the page with desired results but i wish to bypass this message.

Any ideas. This is very urgent. Any help would be much appeciated

Thanks, shawn

Answer 1

Couldn't you just add a javascript block with window.reload() in it?

Here is some useful info on how to do this correctly in Web Forms.

Answer 2

The server can not tell the client to reload.

You can use the html meta refresh:

 <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=http://the.new.url"&gt;

but that will not do a proper post back i think.

Content is how many seconds the client waits to do the refresh.

Answer 3

Take a look at ASP.NET AJAX Timer Control! http://www.asp.net/ajax/documentation/live/tutorials/IntroToTimerControl.aspx

Answer 4

Response.Redirect("default.aspx");

(or whatever the name of the current page is)

Answer 5

Do you need a post back to populate a list? Did you look into if solving it with Ajax could help??

Or if you just need a quick and dirty thing, just fake it and fix it later.

Answer 6

Hi Ernie, how did you fix this error?

I'm getting the same error in our Production server but I can't replicate the error in our local and staging servers.

Is the Response.Redirect inside a Try block? I read that it should be passed with a second parameter (set to false) if it's used inside a Try block.

Response.Redirect("Default.aspx",false);
