C#.NET redirect after 5 seconds

**Elsie** · 05-06-2009

I am created a web based project in C#.NET. On the HOME page, there is a link which calls another webpage using Response.Redirect () function. But there I got the problem. Every time I click on the link the browser waits for 5 seconds and then redirects me to the next page. Does anyone know what and why is happening this?

Redirect code on your calling page:

Response.Redirect("YourPage.aspx");

In the load event of called page that you are redirected to, use the HtmlMeta object to redirect immediately:

Code:

HtmlMeta meta = new HtmlMeta();
meta.HttpEquiv = "Refresh";
meta.Content = "0; URL=Alert.aspx";
Page.Header.Controls.Add(meta);

where the number 0 (immediately) is the number of seconds to wait before redirecting.

Why don't you use onclick function of javascript rather than using server control button. For the link you can mention something like window.location.href = "website_name"
