Hi there,
Basically, to play the media file on the web page you can host the player on the page with the object tag, and assign the url of the media file to the player. You can use the search functionality of the site to look for the sample code as this question was answered many times at this site.

Using server.transfer

Pls help me understand why is that when using server.transfer the previous page is displayed in the url address of the browser.

For example, login.aspx is displayed in the browser. When login button is clicked, server.transfer(mainmenu.aspx) is called.
When the mainmenu.aspx is displayed on the browser, the url address displayed
is still the url of login.aspx. Becaus of this my sitemap is having problems in getting the correct current node. Pls help. Thanks. Smile | :)

The Server.Transfer method redirects the web page at the server side, so it does not update the new url in the address bar. In this case, you might consider using the Redirect method instead.

Server.Transfer transfers page processing from one page directly to the next page without making a round-trip back to the client's browser. This provides a faster response with a little less overhead on the server. Server.Transfer does not update the clients url history list or current url. If u want to update ur url address it is better to use Response.Redirect();
eg.Response.Redirect("mainmenu.aspx"); Smile | :)

Hi Thanks for the reply.
But is there a way for my sitemap to get the correct node even if I use Server.Transfer? Below is the code I used to resolve SiteMap in Global.asax.

Function AppendQueryString(ByVal o As [Object], ByVal e As SiteMapResolveEventArgs) As SiteMapNode
If (Not (SiteMap.CurrentNode) Is Nothing) Then
Dim temp As SiteMapNode

temp = SiteMap.CurrentNode.Clone(True)

Dim u As Uri = New Uri(e.Context.Request.Url.ToString)

temp.Url = (temp.Url + u.Query)

If (Not (temp.ParentNode) Is Nothing) Then
temp.ParentNode.Url = (temp.ParentNode.Url + u.Query)
End If
Return temp
Else
Return Nothing
End If
End Function

Thanks in Advance

because Server.Transfer is transfer the server from one page to another and actuaaly it is to handle the server side control not the client side controls.
and change of url is just cilent area of web-application

better to use
Response.Redirect(http://localhost/WebApplication1/WebForm1.aspx");

I've come across this odd behavior, that I'm not quite sure what to make of it, or even how to determine the source of the problem.

Ok, I have one page.

3 different buttons on that page.

asp:Panel ID="PanelNew" runat="server" Width="97%" >

asp:button runat="server" text="MostRecent" OnCommand="SelectActiveView" CommandArgument="MostRecent" CommandName="Hide" />
asp:button runat="server" text="Most Recent 2" id="testbutton" />

/asp:Panel>

Then I had code in the page load that is:

<br />
<br />
        testbutton.Command += new CommandEventHandler(this.SelectActiveView);<br />
        testbutton.CommandArgument = "MostRecent";<br />
        testbutton.CommandName = "Hide";<br />
<br />
        Button TempButton = new Button();             <br />
        TempButton.Text = "Cancel";<br />
        TempButton.Command += new CommandEventHandler(this.SelectActiveView);<br />
        TempButton.CommandArgument = "MostRecent";<br />
        TempButton.CommandName = "Hide";<br />
        PanelNew.Controls.Add(TempButton);<br />

So, I have on that's declared in html, one that's declared in html then modified from code, then the last is complete code made, all three buttons end up having the same command arguements, but the one made from code behaves differently from the rest. The function they call, modifies some hiden value fields then calls a page load.

Ok, now this part, is hard to explain, so please stay with me.

If I go straight to that page from a link, all three buttons work, first try.

If I click on a button that does a post back on to the page, then I click on the tempbutton, the hidden field values are not updated, Then I click the same button a second time and it does update the hidden values like it was supposed to on the first click.

Well, I hope that made sense. If it didn't then post that and I'll see if i can post some source code to duplicate this behavior.

A couple of things come to mind:
+ Try to give the control an id when you statically declare on the web page or dynamically load the control in code.
+ Try to add the dynamic control in the Init phase in the control life cycle.
+ Just curious that why you try with 3 buttons that have the same command name and argument.

My problem in a nutshell is the programmatically created controls aren't working 100% of the time.

NOTE: Giving the Programmically made controls an id fixed the problem, and thank you minhpc_bk for the help.

However I made some sample code to demonstrate the problem, what's cause the problem, is still abit puzzling,

To replicate the problem:

When the page first loaded the hidden value is blank, then I click on ButtonR1 or R2 to make it red. So on and so on.

Now, if you start clicking on the buttons in the "Panel Created" panel, they don't work 100% of the time. You have to click the same button twice in a row for it to work.

Here is a simplified example of my problem.
