I'm trying to write some code in my ASP.NET C# Page_Load where the user can click
OK or Cancel in a message box to decide whether they want to be
redirected or not. If the user clicks OK, then they will be redirected,
if they click Cancel, then they will be sent back to the previous page.

The error that I am getting is 'newline in constant' at the part where I
am creating the sScript string.

Can anybody help with this?

Cheers,

Mike


string sPage = "";
string sScript;

switch (Convert.ToString(Request.QueryString"action"))
{
    case "AI":
        sPage = "activate_invisilink.aspx?serial=" + strSerial;
        break;
    case "AT":
        sPage = "activate_targeted.aspx?serial=" + strSerial;
        break;
}

sScript = "<script type=\\"text/javascript\\">";
sScript += "if(confirm('this is the message for the confirm box'))
document.location.href='" + sPage + "';";
sScript += "else document.location.href='lastpage.aspx';";

sScript += "</script>";

Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock("Redirect", sScript);

A. This doesn't look right:
switch (Convert.ToString(Request.QueryString"action"))
shouldn't it be
switch (Convert.ToString(Request.QueryString["action"]))

B. What is strSerial?

C. sScript = "<script type=\\"text/javascript\\">";
don't you want only one \. Doesn't \\ escape the \?

Work smarter, not harder.

A. This was just a cut and paste error, my actual code reads it should :

switch (Convert.ToString(Request.QueryString["action"]))

B. I missed out strSerial on the post :

strSerial = Convert.ToString(Request.QueryString["serial"]);

C. I'm not sure whether I need to use \\ or \, but it doesn't work either way!
