Can we use SPUtility.Redirect with Item Added event handler

Question

I want to redirect using to another page after item added, main point is to redirect user to another page on item adding(item should be added first) or item added.

EDIT

class ClassName: SPItemEventReceiver { HttpContext current; public ClassName() { current = HttpContext.Current; }

public override void ItemAdded(SPItemEventProperties properties)
{
    try
    {
        this.DisableEventFiring();

        if (IamRightItem(properties))
            DOThis(properties);
        else
        {
            string webAppUrl = string.Empty;
            using (SPSite site = new SPSite(properties.SiteId))
            {
                webAppUrl = site.WebApplication.GetResponseUri(SPUrlZone.Default).AbsoluteUri;
            }

            if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(webAppUrl))
            {
                string redirectLink = string.Format("{0}{1}{2}{3}{4}", webAppUrl, "my/page.aspx", "?Action=abcAction", "&URL=", properties.WebUrl);
                SPUtility.Redirect(redirectLink, SPRedirectFlags.Trusted, current);
            }
        }
    }

This code works for ItemUpdating but not for ItemAdded, why not :S

Answer 1

I have faced this issue before. After making the ItemAdded event synchronous, I was able to get the HttpContext but still the redirection was not happening. I solved it by doing the following workaround:

1) Use the ItemAdding Event (You have the HttpContext in it)

2) Add the item through code in the ItemAdding event itself.

3) After the item has been added, redirect using the SPUtililty.Redirect method.

Here is the sample code:

        HttpContext currentContext;  

        public CustomEventReceiver()
        {
               currentContext = HttpContext.Current; 
        }  


        public override void ItemAdding(SPItemEventProperties properties)  
        {  
            base.ItemAdding(properties);  

            SPList oList = properties.List;  

            this.EventFiringEnabled = false;  

            SPListItem newItem = oList.Items.Add();  
            newItem["Title"] = properties.AfterProperties["Title"].ToString();  
            newItem.Update();  

            this.EventFiringEnabled = true;  


            SPUtility.Redirect("http://server/redirectionPage.aspx", SPRedirectFlags.Default, currentContext);  

        }

Here is an answer to a very similar question asked on SharePoint.StackExchange:

Redirect from ItemAdded event

Answer 3

It doesn't work because updated is asynchronous and called outside of the clients context.

You can create this using item updating, for after the updating event has occured, litterly doing a redirect on "Updated" but inside "Updating".

As I said before if you look for a tutorial on how to do this typing in "sharepoint Redirect for itemupdated using itemupdating" into google you will find plenty of tutorials on how to achieve this.

Answer 4

Is there any chance to redirect from Item Adding, but only once when Adding are finished. I tried many times., but Sometimes I got a error of Ribon, and sometimes I only updatet one record:
