Question

I have a DetailsView control like so:

<asp:DetailsView ID="DetailsView1" runat="server" AutoGenerateRows="False" DataKeyNames="IssueId"
    DataSourceID="edsIssues" DefaultMode="Insert" OnItemInserted="DetailsView1_ItemInserted"
    OnItemInserting="DetailsView1_ItemInserting" OnItemUpdated="DetailsView1_ItemUpdated"
    OnItemUpdating="DetailsView1_ItemUpdating">
    <Fields>

After inserting and updating I want to redirect to another page (a list page containing a GridView). So I did this:

protected void DetailsView1_ItemInserted(object sender, DetailsViewInsertedEventArgs e)
{
    Response.Redirect("IssueList.aspx");
}

protected void DetailsView1_ItemUpdated(object sender, DetailsViewUpdatedEventArgs e)
{
    Response.Redirect("IssueList.aspx");
}

When inserting a new record it works fine. However, when updating a record the Redirect causes the Update to cancel.

If I remove the Repsonse.Redirect from ItemUpdated then the update works – but then the DetailsView loads blank (I guess in insert mode).

How can I redirect to another page after updating without cancelling the update?

Thanks in advance.

Although I don’t like the answer as it seems wrong – using Threading.Thread.Sleep() did in fact do the job. I would love to know if there was a better answer though.
