how to set a form's "action" property

[François Ligouy]

Although on page WebForm1.aspx I set the action property of the form to
WebForm2.aspx, strangely enough, at runtime, when one navigates to
WebForm1.aspx, its action property proves to be Webform1.aspx instead.
Is this a normal ASP.NET behavior?

Salut François,

That is normal behaviour because an ASP.NET form always posts back to
itself.

There are workarounds like the one here:

Hi Ken,

Thanks for your quick answer; although it fits my observations, it's good to
see it clearly written down.
Thank you as well for the link.
