Force a complete reload of a page.

[UJ]

Is there any way I can have a page reload itself where it will completely
reload from scratch. I have a condition where a person click a button and
the easiest way to handle it would be to have the button do the DB stuff it
needs to do and then load the page from scratch - not post back.

I've tried putting in a server.transfer in the routine that does the button
click but it seems to get into an infinite loop.

TIA - Jeff.

Hey Jeff,
Just create a javascript function to refresh the page. Then just add
that function to the asp.net button using
'Btn.Attributes.Add("onclick","your js function name")

Thanks

And the javascript will be

location.reload(true);

Actually I do a response.redirect to itself and it works great.

Thanks anyway.

Excellent, I've been wrestling with viewstate for ages trying to get it to reload the values of text boxes from the DB, but this is a simple, quick and easy solution to all my problems!

Cheers :barresed:

Try this instead of Response.Redirect, It works perfectly well....

Response.AddHeader "Refresh", "0;URL=default.asp"

This will reload the page specified, if you want to use it to reload the same page after executing some scripting you can use a variable....

If PageStatus = "reload" Then
Response.AddHeader "Refresh", "0;URL=SamePage.asp"
PageStatus = ""
End If

If you are executing script on a different page, you can also pass the information and retreive it using the Querystring

Samepage.asp?PageStatus=reload

PageStatus = Request.QueryString("PageStatus")
If PageStatus = "reload" Then
Response.AddHeader "Refresh", "0;URL=SamePage.asp"
PageStatus = ""
End If

* Zero is the time before reloading....
* Do not forget to clear PageStatus otherwise you will be stuck in a loop

Enjoy
