Asp.net Webform Display Alert and redirect

Question

I\'m currently stuck. I have a webform with a button that registers or saves a record. What i\'d like to is have it display a javascript alert and then redirect to a page. H

You can't do a Response.Redirect because your javascript alert will never get displayed. Better to have your javascript code actually do a windows.location.href='default.aspx' to do the redirection after the alert is displayed. Something like this:

protected virtual void DisplayAlert(string message)
{
    ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(
      this.GetType(),
      Guid.NewGuid().ToString(),
      string.Format("alert('{0}');window.location.href = 'default.aspx'", 
        message.Replace("'", @"\'").Replace("\n", "\\n").Replace("\r", "\\r")),
        true);
}
