Using multiple web forms

[thorskonnord]

My application opens a second web form to do calculations. I use Response.Redirect to open the second page.

When returning to the first page, I need all the values to be retained. In order to do this, the Return button (btnClose) in the second form uses this in Page_Load:

btnClose.Attributes.Add("onClick", "javascript:history.back(); return false;")

This makes btnClose work as if the user clicked the back button.

This works great except for one thing. Once returning to to the first web page, a click on any button re-opens the previous, second web form.

I am sure that there is a better way to do this, I can open the second page as a pop-up using JaveScript. This leaves the first page open, which is great. But what I cannot figure out is how to close the second page after being done with it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You're asking in the desktop forum. Try the ASP.Net forum...

I have already asked the mods to move this thread to that forum, so please don't create a duplicate thread.

That said, the VB.NET forum is not for desktop apps specifically. If a question relates to code in a web app but it is about VB.NET generally, e.g. string manipulation or data access, then this is still an appropriate place for it. If the question is specific to ASP.NET though, e.g. relates to JavaScript as well as VB.NET, then the dedicated ASP.NET forum is the place for it.

Ok vb general, but mostly desktop...:thumb:
