HI,

I have 3 asp:button's in a page, two buttons are calling different other pages when they clicked and
one is to refresh the self page.
Begin.aspx:
doCheck calls Begin.aspx with V=Y (I am passing this as query string)
dpRefresh calls Begin.aspx with V=N (or without V value)
doContinue calls Pickup.aspx

Problem is:
Once I click doRefresh, its working and carrying 'V' value as 'Y'
after that, if I place mouse on doRefresh button, in status bar, its showing
Begin.aspx?V=Y&NUM=12345

in button click event doRefresh_click, I assigned value for 'V' as 'N'. But this event firing after page_load..
I think its becasue I am calling self page.. in page_load I wrote Request("V").. Its taking value as 'Y'

How to solve this issue? How can I change the value of 'V' once user clicks Refresh button and then Submit..

Suggest me.

don't use asp:buttons. they are meant to post back to the same page. period.

One option is to set up a handler on the server side that redirects an asp:button to a new page using Response.Redirect. That's the easiest solution.

If you want to go to another page, I'd suggest using HTML buttons or hyper links.

Hi,

Many Thanks.

I have one more doubt, I have a asp:button in the form, when I click that page is reloading and calling page_load event first, Is there any possibility to call button click event first once the button is clicked?

Thanks

no. Page_Load always fires first. I'd suggest spending a little time Learning the Framework, and especially the Page Life Cycle. It will make developing in ASP.NET infinitely easier.

That being said, if you have something in Page_Load that you only want to run on the inital view of the page, you can put it inside of an If Not IsPostBack Then block. The button will be detected as a postback, and that part of the Page_Load will be skipped.
