Question

I’m confused… I have a form on my aspx page which the text fields sit inside an update panel. I use this to validate a login. If the login is successful, I change the form action and I want the form to then submit to that url.

<form runat="server" id="form1">
     <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server"></asp:ScriptManager>
     <asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server">
          <ContentTemplate>
               <!--form fields-->
               <asp:Button ID="btnSubmit" runat="server"  onclick="btnSubmit_click" Text="Continue" />
          </ContentTemplate>
     </asp:UpdatePanel>
</form>

Then my codebehind

 protected void btnSubmit_click(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
      //do some validation, if ok then change the form action
      form1.Action = "myurl2.aspx";
      btnSubmit = "proceed to next url";
 }

So once the user has been validated, I change the URL of the form to post to, then change the button name. When I then click the submit button nothing happens. How can I submit the form? I tried doing something like form1.submit but obviously that doesn’t exist!

Try calling

Server.Transfer(...);

or

Response.Redirect(...);
