Hi

In this tutorial we see the way of navigating between Pages

Asp.net provides 5 ways.
1.Using Server control
2.using Response.redirect method.
3.using Server.transfer method.
4.using Server.Execute method.
5.Using Javascript

we see one by one.
First Server Control
Server controls are like Hyperlink,Image Button & Link Button.
1)Hyperlink server control: It has NavigateUrl property. You can assign path where you want to mavigate whrn user click on hyperlink
When user click on hyperlink server control then

2)Link Button :
this server control has PostBackUrl property. here you have to assign path.
means when user click on linkButton then where user has to redirect or in other words which page have to display

3)Image Button:
this server control has PostBackUrl property. here you have to assign path.
means when user click on Image Button then where user has to redirect or in other words which page have to display

Second way Response.redirect
It Navigate to another page from code. This is equivalent to clicking a hyperlink
For Example:

Private Sub LinkButton1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
	ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles LinkButton1.Click
	Response.Redirect("Page1.aspx")
End Sub

Third way Server.transfer method
-Request Change on server itself
-End the current Web form and Starts executing a new Web form
-It keep Same Url it just changes the content of page.
It has only one Drawback
This method is only useful for .aspx pages that is only for Asp.net pages
its Syantax:
Server.Transfer("your path", preserveForm true/false)

  Protected Sub LinkButton1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles LinkButton1.Click
' Transfer to another form, retaining ViewState
		Server.Transfer("your path", True)
	End Sub

Second parameter asks you. you want maintain viewstate or not

Fourth Way Server.Execute method
It Start executing a new Web form while still displaying the current Web form. The contents of both forms are combined.
-It keeps the same Url.

	Protected Sub LinkButton1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles LinkButton1.Click
		Server.Execute("your path")
	End Sub

Last way that is Using Javascript
it contains window.Open script method
window.open method Display a page in a new browser window on the client.
You can write window.open in webforms's Source window. Here i am taking linkbutton & onclientclick i am writing code for open window.

<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" 
			onclientclick="window.open("page2.aspx")">LinkButton</asp:LinkButton>

or you can select button. go to property window select onclient option and write window.open("Your Page")
This is all about navigating.

Thanks
