Using Response.Redirect to open a new page is not working

[Doogie]

In the code below, I am trying to go from one asp page to another:

For Each tripToAccept As String In tripsToAccept.Split("/"c)
dataManager.UpdateTripDetail("Accept", CInt(tripToAccept),
Hiduser.Value)
Next


Response.Redirect("TripAcceptReject.aspx", False)


I am not getting an error, but I'm also not seeing anything happen at
all. This is an existing app and it looks like the page I'm trying to
open up is a modal page, could that be an issue. Is there another way
to open up one asp page from another?

Have you debugged to make sure your Response.Redirect line is actually
executing?
A common alternate to Response.Redirect is Server.Transfer. Here's more

If you're trying to pop open a whole new window then this link would likely

Hi Steve, yes I verified it is executing. Just nothing appears to be
happening.

Interestingly enough, I tried to use Server.Transfer but I kept
getting errors. I was going to retry it this morning so I could send
you what error I got and lo and behold it's working. Sheesh.

This looked very interesting...if I run into any further issues with
Server.Transfer, I'll give this a try.

Thank you for your help!

Well I was wrong. It goes through the Page_Load method of this other
page but then jumps back to the original page and throws a threading
exception (regardless of whether I use true or false for the preserve
form parameter). But it does still open the page, only it opens it in
the same window as the previous page (which is not what I wanted).
I'll have to look at your window open code you mentioned in your
article and see if I can get that to work.
