how to navigate pages in asp.net

Question

hi i have to nagivate to another page in asp.net suppose i have two pages ie Default.aspx and Default2.aspx how to i naviagte between them

Answer 1

there are many ways, here are a few to get you started

<a href="default2.aspx">go there</a>

<asp:HyperLink runat="server" ID="lnk" Text="go there" NavigateURL="default2.aspx" />

<asp:LinkButton runat="server" ID="btn" Text="go there" OnClick="server_method_that_redirects" />

Answer 2

You could use anchors in your aspx page:

<a href="Default2.aspx">Click to navigate to Default2.aspx</a>

or make a redirect in your code behind:

Response.Redirect("~/Default2.aspx");

Answer 3

On your server side codebehind you may also consider using Server.Transfer(..) instead of Response.Redirect(..). Response.Redirect sends an instruction to the browser to change the page while Server.Transfer does it directly on the server side. Browse the web for further information about the differences.
