You can't set the Target page for ASP.NET application.ASP.NET page post back to itself.Use some logic in Page_Load to redirect to the target page on page submit.

Traditional 'action' are not available in ASP.NET application. You have to use response.redirect("Your Next Page") or server.transfer("Your Next Page") to do the same funcion as 'action' can do
