cross page postback problem

[Lloyd Dupont]

I would like to write a link which:
- trigger an action & post to an other page

the problem I have, while experimenting with asp Button and cross page
button the method is not called in case of crosse page posting.

Is it possible to do that?

basically on my main page I have a blog entry list, which is a list of link
to another page.
I want to add a 'Add Blog' link at the top which would:
1. add a new blog entry in the db
2. forward me to the blog page

Any tip?

Couldn't you add the entry into the DB once the user has submitted the blog
on the blog page?

mmhh...
that's definitely an interesting idea! I think I will!

Although I'm using Server.Transfer() now, it's a bit annoying as the page
URL doesn't get updated but it's a page seen only by 'site admin'. I think I
will do both ;-)

It's sometimes a good idea to send stuff to the DB once the users done -
especially for a single transaction like this.

Use Response.Redirect if you want a "standard" redirect - then you'll get
the URL in the address bar.
