aspx page to redirect to a new page

Viewed 262896

What is the code required to redirect the browser to a new page with an ASPX page?

I have tried this on my page default.aspx :

<% Response.Redirect("new.aspx", true); %>

or

<%@ Response.Redirect("new.aspx", true); %>

And these resulted in a server error that is undetermined. I cannot see the error code; because the server is not in my control and the errors are not public.

Please provide all necessary code from line 1 of the page to the end, and I would really appreciate it.

<%@ Page Language="C#" %>
<script runat="server">
  protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
  {
      Response.Redirect("new.aspx");
  }
</script>

You could also do this is plain in html with a meta tag:

<html>
<head>
  <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=new.aspx" />
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

If you are using VB, you need to drop the semicolon:

<% Response.Redirect("new.aspx", true) %>

Even if you don't control the server, you can still see the error messages by adding the following line to the Web.config file in your project (bewlow <system.web>):

<customErrors mode="off" />

In a special case within ASP.NET If you want to know if the page is redirected by a specified .aspx page and not another one, just put the information in a session name and take necessary action in the receiving Page_Load Event.
