  1. CSCI 6962: Server-side Design and Programming Page Redirection

  2. Redirecting to Other Pages • PostBackUrlproperty • Used to set the page that ASP will load upon request • Can then access request data from previous page

  3. Setting Start Page • Can set default start page • Right-click page and select “Set as Start Page”

  4. Cross-Page Posting • PostBackUrl is property of each dynamic component • If component activated, transfer to this page instead of posting back to previous page

  5. Retrieving Request Data • PreviousPage object contains reference to form on previous page • Can use PreviousPageIsNot Nothing to make sure it exists • PreviousPage.FindControl(“id”) • Returns reference to previous page element with that id • Usually have to cast to actual type with CType(element, type) • Note: behavior can be flaky, particularly if components inside other containers or forms

  6. Retrieving Request Data • Usually done in Page_Load method in response page • Called when page first loaded Get controls from previous page Extract data from those controls CInt converts string to integer

  7. Other Redirection Methods • Server.Transfer(“URL”) • Server-side redirection • Response.Redirect(“URL”) • Client-side redirection (extra round trip to server) • Invoked programically within event handling code • Do not (easily) pass information from previous form • Often used with sessions

  8. Passing Data Using the URL • Can manually add data to the URL string itself in form URL?name=value&name=value...

  9. Passing Data Using the URL • Can extract the parameters usingRequest.QueryString(“name”)

  10. Unhandled Errors • As with JSP, can specify default pages for unhandled errors • Done in web.configfile • Inside CustomErrorstag • Specify page to go to for unhandled problems with defaultRedirect • Can specify pages for specific types of problems with errorsubtag, specifying statusCode • 404 = Missing page • 500 = Unhandled exception
