Question

I’m trying to navigate from the codebehind of a Silverlight page back to an ASPX page in the same application. How do I perform a “Response.Redirect” as I would from the codebehind of an ASPX page? I’ve tried google and nothing comes up that actually works. My silverlight form is of type UserControl. I cannot change it to Page or sdk:Page nor embed an sdk:Page into the UserControl tag. The Page always is unknown to the designer.

This worked for me:

put this method somewhere:

    private string GetAbsoluteUrl(string strRelativePath)
    {
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(strRelativePath))
            return strRelativePath;

        string strFullUrl;
        if (strRelativePath.StartsWith("http:", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)
          || strRelativePath.StartsWith("https:", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase)
          || strRelativePath.StartsWith("file:", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase))
        {
            strFullUrl = strRelativePath;
        }
        else
        {
            strFullUrl = System.Windows.Application.Current.Host.Source.AbsoluteUri;
            if (strFullUrl.IndexOf("ClientBin") > 0)
                strFullUrl = strFullUrl.Substring(0, strFullUrl.IndexOf("ClientBin")) + strRelativePath;
            else
                strFullUrl = strFullUrl.Substring(0, strFullUrl.LastIndexOf("/") + 1) + strRelativePath;
        }

        return strFullUrl;
    }

Navigate via:

        string browserFeatures = "directories=yes,location=yes,menubar=yes,status=yes,toolbar=yes,resizable=yes";
        HtmlPage.Window.Navigate(new Uri(GetAbsoluteUrl("SomePage.aspx"), UriKind.Absolute), "_self", browserFeatures);
