Response.Write and Response.Redirect

[Matthew Wieder]

On my Page_Load event, i need to do some validation and then either let
them proceed, or display a error message and boot them back to the
previous page. Here is the code:

Response.Write("<script>alert('Error Message here');</script>");
Response.Redirect("Configuration.aspx");

Problem is that if I call Response.Redirect to move them to the previous
page, the Response.Write gets eaten. How do I solve this issue?
thanks!

You have to response.write some javascript to do the redirect client side.

What javascript would that be?
thanks!

I got it. For those interested:
Response.Write("<script>location.href = WebPage.aspx';</script>");

thanks for the help.

Just one additional thing. Using Response.Write() is dodgy at best with
ASP.Net. Try using Page.RegisterStartupScript() instead.
