Manually trigger postback in asp.net

Terence McGhee · Aug 19, 2004

Hello. All I want to do is have my web app display a page with an
animated gif on it. After a certain timespan, I want that page to
redirect the user to another page. So, in effect, I can display a
progress bar of sorts. The problem is that timers don't work for this,
nor do custom events. I'm guessing that if I manually forced a
postback, I could catch that in the Page_Load method and do the
redirect there. I'm using c#. Thank you.

You'll need to use javascript to auto-submit a form.

you can use javascript:

<html>
<head>
<title>My Redirect</title>
</head>
<body>
This page will redirect to <b>http://www.msdn.microsoft.com</b> in 5
seconds.
</body>
<script language="javascript">
window.setTimeout("reDirect()",5000);

function reDirect() {
window.location.href = "http://www.msdn.microsoft.com";
}
</script>
</html>
