Redirect from Application Page to ~site/_layouts/newsbweb.aspx

Question

I have created a Custom Action which appears on "Site Actions" and when you click on it, it opens a modal diaglog which is a Application Page. within this Application Page I want to redirect to ~site/_layouts/newsbweb.aspx. I have tested following but no success.

 Response.Redirect("/_layouts/newsbweb.aspx", true);

How do I get HttpContext in Application Page.

SPUtility.Redirect("~site/_layouts/newsbweb.aspx", SPRedirectFlags.Trusted, ???)

Answer 1

you can try the following:

SPUtility.Redirect("newsbweb.aspx", SPRedirectFlags.Static | SPRedirectFlags.RelativeToLayoutsPage | SPRedirectFlags.RelativeToLocalizedLayoutsPage, HttpContext.Current);

or

HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect("/_layouts/newsbweb.aspx",  false);

hope it helps :)

EDIT

SPUtility.Redirect("newsbweb.aspx", SPRedirectFlags.Static | SPRedirectFlags.RelativeToLayoutsPage | SPRedirectFlags.RelativeToLocalizedLayoutsPage, HttpContext.Current);

That should safely redirect to the custom file within the layouts folder :)
