Redirect to root page

[Rudy Soto]

Can someone please tell me how I can redirect the user back to the
start page? Let's say I have the following folders in IIS, with the
pages included:

Menu
login.aspx
menu.aspx
Customers
details.aspx
contacts.aspx
address.aspx

menu.aspx also has other folders. It is basically the entry point for
multiple projects. Anyway, if a user has already navigated to
contacts.aspx for example, I want them to be able to return straight to
menu.aspx. If they have already logged in they will not be redirected
to login.aspx.

I've tried the following in the code behind of an asp:button, which is
part of a user control (hope that makes sense):

Response.Redirect("https://menu.mycompany.com/menu.aspx")
Response.Redirect("~/menu/menu.aspx")
Response.Redirect("/menu/menu.aspx")

None of these work. Does anyone have any suggestions? Maybe
Response.Redirect isn't even close to what I need to use?

Thanks.

Try Response.Redirect("../menu/menu.aspx");

Rob,

Thanks for the quick reply. I did try that and it worked.....on my
development machine. For some reason when we put it on the web server,
it does not. Any idea what the difference could be? Is there
something in the directory structure of IIS that we need to modify?

Thanks.

Hi Rudy,

That is the standard way to redirect, it should work on anny IIS asp
application. Is it possible that you didn't recompile the application
and redeploy the binary file?

When you run your site, what does happen? Do you get an exception or a 404
page? What is the URL in the address bar and how does that compare with
your actual tree structure?

Rudy -

use "~/<subfolder1>/<subfolder2><Page>.aspx" To all the way back to
original folder, if your in some nested subfolder.

use "../" to go back one subfolder up the tree

use "../../<Page>.aspx" to go two subfolders up the tree (so-on and so
forth)

if your going to have a complicated subtree structure, then I would
create a Page (i.e., Default.aspx) that contains the logic of where the
end user will go (use Session objects or Query String to figure that
logic out). But then do a Response.Redirect("~/default.aspx") on all
your click events no matter where your at in the tree structure...

it may have a lot of bouncing along...from page to defaultpage to real
page, but the code would be pretty easy to follow...

It appears to just refresh whatever page it is currently on. The url
in the address bar does not change. The status bar does not show the
target url, because it is an asp:button and not an asp:linkbutton
(which may be part of the problem I guess). For example, the current
page I am looking at has this in the url:

https://menu.mycomplany.com/customer....aspx?Key=5555

When I click the button nothing appears to happen except maybe a
refresh. The code currently behind the button is:

Response.Redirect("https://menu.mycompany.com/menu.aspx")

That is the url of the page I want to redirect to (names have been
changed to protect the innocent).
