Parameters

url

A String argument containing the URL for the page to redirect to.

endResponse

A Boolean argument indicating whether to terminate processing of the

current page. If the argument is omitted, the method call causes processing of

the current page to be discontinued.

Example

The example redirects the current request to BufferOutput.aspx and directs

ASP.NET to discontinue processing of the current page:

Sub Page_Load( )

Response.Redirect("BufferOutput.aspx", True)

End Sub

Notes

Unless additional processing needs to be done in the page from which you call

Response.Redirect, you should always pass

True as the second argument to

Response.Redirect to prevent server resources from being wasted by continuing to

process the current page. This feature is new for ASP.NET. When calling

Response.Redirect with only the

url argument, processing of the current page is

discontinued automatically.

Note that when redirecting to a page such as BufferOutput.aspx in which buff-

ering is turned off, or to a page that calls Response.Flush, the redirect will not

complete until the target page has completed processing. This means that all

content on the target page will be seen at once, rather than as it is rendered or

flushed from the buffer.
