public void Redirect (
	String url
)

public function Redirect (
	url : String
)

Parameters

The target location.

HttpException1

A redirection is attempted after the HTTP headers have been sent.

Calling Redirect is equivalent to calling Redirect2 with the second parameter set to true.

Redirect calls End3 which raises a ThreadAbortException4 exception upon completion.

The following example forces an unconditional redirection to another Web site.

C# 
Response.Redirect("http://www.microsoft.com/gohere/look.htm");
J# 
get_Response().Redirect("http://www.microsoft.com/gohere/look.htm");
JScript 
Response.Redirect("http://www.microsoft.com/gohere/look.htm")

Encoding characters

If the redirected url includes user-entered data, such as

http://www.test.com/newpage.aspx?country=USA

Then, the querystring component should be urlencoded.

Response.redirect("http://www.test.com/newpage.aspx?country=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(TheCountry))

This way, the correct url will be generated for countries like

http://www.test.com/newpage.aspx?country=Sri%20Lanka
