How to use Response.Redirct like a browser back button?

[Michelle A.]

What is the difference between the two?

I have a page "one" with a button using Response.Redirect("pagetwo.asxp") to
go to the next page.

On page two I have a button using Response.Redirect("pageone.aspx") to go
back to page one.

When I view page one, select some information, then go to page two, and then
select the back button (using the response.redirect) none of my selections
remain. If I just use the back button of the web browser everything works
fine.

Anything I am doing wrong?

Thanks.

Kevin is right.
To get it to work like the back button, Instead of using Response.Redirect
to go back to page one you could execute some client side javascript like
this:
history.go(-1);

So you could have a "Back" anchor tag in your HTML that looks like this:
<a href='javascript:history.go(-1);'>Back</a>

Here's more info:

One caution about using JavaScript history, though: With ASP.Net it can have
unexpected results, as ASP.Net WebForms submit to themselves, and have
different ViewState data in them at different times.
