How to force a page refresh?

[Paul Drummond]

Is there a way to force a page refresh, so users will not receive a cached
version of a page, even if they have their browser set to never check for a
newer version of page?

Thank you!

Hello Paul,

check for a newer version of page?

I don't think so. This is a web client specific behaviour to ignore HTTP
protocol features, such as Cache-Control headers. And no, META tags won't
cut it either.

Well, the Refresh trick should work, *if* that behaviour is what you want.
You still have to make sure though that the page has not been cached by some
upstream proxy server by setting Cache-Control: no-cache (See System.Web.HttpCachePolicy).

Cheers,
