On the button click event of the button try:
Response.Redirect("page name");

oh thanks, its work. I had found another code is
Server.Transfer("filename"); but it only can use to link the page under same folder. btw the
Response.Redirect("page name");
izzit not necessary that must b a URL ? like we can put a folder name follow by filename?
EG
Response.Redirect("\folder\abc.aspx");

Yes you can do that. I just struggled with the syntax. It is very easy.
DON'T put a "/" in front of the folder name, it will not work.

In your case use Response.Redirect("folder\abc.aspx");

This is assuming that there is a folder named "folder" under the Root of your project.

There is some error when using the "\" in the URL, but if change with "/" it show no problem.
By the way, mind to be my friend? What kind of instant messaging that you are current using? I am using MSN. my MSN is [email protected]

When you use a back-slash in a C# string it will not always be considered as a back-slash. The back-slash has special meaning as in many other programming languages; e.g. if you write \n it means new line. Perhaps this will help...

Anyways, you can do it in three ways...

1. The first way is probably the most elegant way to do it. You can put an 'at' in front of a string and the C# compiler will ignore the escape character ('\') in the string.

Code:

Response.Redirect(@"somefolder\nice.aspx");

Notice that the first letter after the back-slash is 'n' which would normally render a new line.

2. The second way is the older version; you use a back-slash to escape the back-slash. Simply replace all back-slashes with two.

Code:

Response.Redirect("somefolder\\nice.aspx");

3. The third way is a little bit political. When developing applications for Windows it is OK to use back-slash, but some would say that this is wrong. Forward slash will AFAIK work on Windows and it will also work on Linux.

Code:

Response.Redirect("somefolder/nice.aspx");

This issue is causing some portability issues; i.e. if you are using back-slash in paths you will not be able to run the application - possibly web application - on Linux.

Hope it helps,
Jacob.

oh yea, i forgot this is same as C++, the \\ consider as \, as well as the %% also will become %
