ASP.NET C# Refresh page from code behind

To refresh your page you may use the javascript function:


window.location.reload();


For example you can use that on the OnClientClick attribute of an ASP.NET button:


<asp:button ID="btnRefresh" OnClick="btnRefresh_Click" runat="server" Text="REFRESH" 
OnClientClick="window.location.reload();" />


The code above will work fine, but if let's say you have some other server-side logic you want to run on the code for btnRefresh_Click, it won't be executed because the page would already be refreshed by then.


So to run your server-side code, first remove the OnClientClick attribute on the asp button tag above. Then place the following code inside your button click event:



protected void btnRefresh_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //Your logic here...
    Page.Response.Redirect(HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.ToString(), true);
}


We simply redirect the page to its current url and that does the trick.
