.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / July 2006WebBrowser object and redirects
Hi folks, I have searched for an answer to this question on the internet, but been unable to find it so far. I am hoping somebody can help me out. When you are using a WebBrowser object in .Net 2.0, is there any way that you can intercept when the server you are pointing to issues a Response.Redirect. That is, I can handle the Navigating and Navigated events, but the first only gets called before the initial page is called, and the second only gets called when the final, redirected-to page, is loaded. I can't find any way of capturing the redirect itself and doing something at that point. (I hope that was clear.) Can anybody tell me if it's possible to intercept the redirect, and if so, how? Thanks much in advance. -Eric Response.Redirect is done on the client side overall. The server sends an "instant" redirect command and the client obeys. Can you capture the event? There are a couple of ways, depending on your needs. One of the easiest is to redirect with a command line variable (QueryString) and use that var to realize it has been redirected. Another is to hang something in session that a redirect happened. But, you cannot simply figure it out, as the server sees the redirected hit just like any other hit to the site. As web servers are stateless, you have to persist the fact a redirect was requested.  SignatureGregory A.

If the server sends a redirect, I want to be able to add some information to the querystring before the redirect actually happens. But, this needs to happen on the client side. (Assume that I have no control over what the server code does, that I am simply fulfilling a requirement that I have for client-side behavior.) Is there any way to do that? I realize this is not standard behavior for a "regular" web browser, but I am trying to emulate something that a third-party piece of hardware (that can web browse) might do.
