Thread: Delayed Redirect in Asp .Net

Delayed Redirect in Asp .Net

If you like your asp .net page to redirect after x seconds, here are some options. Examples are in C#.

Option 1:
HtmlMeta equiv = new HtmlMeta();
equiv.HttpEquiv = "refresh";
equiv.Content = "5; url= somepage.aspx";
Header.Controls.Add(equiv);

Option 2:
Page.Header.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<meta http-equiv='refresh' content='5; url=somepage.aspx'/>"));

Option 3:
Response.AddHeader("REFRESH", "5;URL=somepage.aspx");

Delayed redirect is not a google friendly.

True, if you're redirecting a page you moved but if they're helpful for redirecting from your 404.aspx page to your homepage.
