C# Web Application Page Load with Method call

Question

I have a web application with two pages at the moment, The first page the user needs to complete some details, with a button that needs to open the second page with a list of buildings and the user needs to choose one of to populate a list of textboxes in the first form.

My question is, from a button on the first page. (CreateSurvey.aspx) I want to open the second page (Search_Property.aspx)

I have come across syntax like

Search_Property Search = new Search_Property();

        Search.open();

But the .open does not exist in this context.

Could someone help me please.

Regards

Rob

In Web forms, you open pages by redirecting to the new page. So, in your button click event, you would use:

Response.Redirect("Search_Property.aspx"); or Server.Transfer("Search_Property.aspx");

And of course there's the option to modify your button markup to post directly to Search_property.aspx as shown here:

<asp:Button ID="searchButton" runat="server" Text="Search" PostBackUrl="~/Search_Property.aspx" />

If you don't want to navigate to another page and then back again, there are several options. You can create HTML "dialogs" in your CreateSurvey.aspx page and show/hide them as necessary. You can also use an IFRAME on the CreateSurvey.aspx page to display the Search_Property.aspx page and then use some Ajax (HttpXmlRequest) to update the CreateSurvey.aspx page.
