Delay on logout

[Michael D. Jones]

Hi all,

I would like to have a delay on a logout page. Here is what I have so far:

logout.aspx
-----------
Page_Load()

FormsAuthentication.SignOut();
Thread.Sleep(5000);
Response.Redirect("homepage.aspx");

What I would like the code to do is, display the logout.aspx page, then wait
5 seconds, then redirect the user to another page.

However, the trouble I'm having is that since I have the delay in the
Page_Load(), the page does not load for 5 seconds, then without displaying,
it redirects to the homepage.aspx.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Michael

Hello Michael,

This will need to happen client side...

Write out some javascript (using Page.RegisterStartupScript) that uses window.setTimeout
and top.location.href.

Page_Load()

FormsAuthentication.SignOut();
Thread.Sleep(5000);

Try to move Thread.Sleep(5000); to Page_Unload().

Thanks, Matt

This works!

<script language="javascript">
function RedirectPage(oSrc,args) {
window.location='http://www.domain.com';
}
</script>
onload="setTimeout('RedirectPage()',5000)"
