SharePoint 2013 redirect generates url containing "/Start.aspx/#"

Question

I am facing one issue regarding to my SharePoint site URL. When I am trying to redirect my page on the button click the page is being redirected but it's URL is like

http://MySharePointsite/_layouts/15/start.aspx#/_layouts/15/MyList/MyPage.aspx

The issue I am facing because of the above URL is my Menu Template is not working.

And I want URL like

http://MySharePointsite/_layouts/15/MyList/MyPage.aspx

When I manually type the above URL menu worked. I don't know why. What is the issue.

The code I am using to redirect the URL is:

string url = SPContext.Current.Web.Url;
SPUtility.Redirect(url + "/_layouts/15/MyList/MyPage.aspx?List=" + Request.QueryString[ListField], SPRedirectFlags.UseSource | SPRedirectFlags.Trusted, HttpContext.Current);

Can anyone help me to solve this issue?
Any help will be appreciated..!

Answer 1

Thank you for checking my question. I have found the answer in MSDN forum.

I have get it to work. I have put one statement which disables Minimal Download Strategy.

SPContext.Current.Web.EnableMinimalDownload = false

I kept this in page load. So the time my page gets loaded it disables the effect of the SharePoint Minimal Download Strategy. The Feature will be activated. But it will not affect the page.

Answer 2

It is SharePoint Minimal Download Strategy (MDS) that generates that URL structure, and that is quite a nice feature for saving resources in SP 2013.

You can disable this feature but I would try to MDS-proof the menu buttons instead (make it handle both URL structures)
