Public Overridable Property PostBackUrl As String

The URL of the Web page to post to from the current page when the ImageButton control is clicked. The default value is an empty string (""), which causes the page to post back to itself.

Implements

PostBackUrl

Attributes: ThemeableAttribute

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the PostBackUrl property to perform a cross-page post. When the user clicks the ImageButton control, the page posts the value entered in the text box to the target page specified by the PostBackUrl property. To run this sample, you must also create a file for the target page in the same directory as this code example. The code for the target page is provided in the next example.

The following code example demonstrates how to use the Page.PreviousPage property to access a value that was posted from another page using the PostBackUrl property. This page gets the string that was posted from the previous page and displays it to the user. If you attempt to run this code example directly, you will get an error because the value of the Text field will be null. Instead, use this code to create a target page and place the file in the same directory as the code for the previous example. The name of the file must correspond to the value specified for the PostBackUrl property in the previous example. When you run the code for the previous example, this page will execute automatically when the cross-page post occurs.

Note

The following code sample uses the single-file code model and may not work correctly if copied directly into a code-behind file. This code sample must be copied into an empty text file that has an .aspx extension. For more information on the Web Forms code model, see ASP.NET Web Forms Page Code Model.

Remarks

The PostBackUrl property allows you to perform a cross-page post using the ImageButton control. Set the PostBackUrl property to the URL of the Web page to post to when the ImageButton control is clicked. For example, specifying Page2.aspx causes the page that contains the ImageButton control to post to Page2.aspx. If you do not specify a value for the PostBackUrl property, the page posts back to itself.

Important

When performing a cross-page postback with controls with server-side validation, you should check that the page's IsValid property is true before processing the postback. In the case of a cross-page postback, the page to check is the PreviousPage. The following Visual Basic code shows how this is done:

Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load  
        If Page.PreviousPage.IsValid Then  
            ' Handle the post back  
        Else  
            Response.Write("Invalid")  
        End If  
End Sub

For more information on cross-page posting techniques, see Cross-Page Posting in ASP.NET Web Forms.

This property cannot be set by themes or style sheet themes. For more information, see ThemeableAttribute and ASP.NET Themes and Skins.
