You can use something like this:

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="60; url=http://your.new/url/here" />

The "60" is the time in seconds to wait before page redirect.

There are many ways to do this but I love to use this code because it works well when used in many different circumstances.

HtmlMeta oScript = new HtmlMeta();
oScript.Attributes.Add("http-equiv", "REFRESH");
oScript.Attributes.Add("content", "60; url='http://www.myurl.com/'");
Page.Header.Controls.Add(oScript);

Try this one line code: Here 5 means redirecting after 5 seconds, and make it 60 if you want to redirect after 1 minute.

protected void btnRedirect_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)  
{  
    Response.AddHeader("REFRESH", "5;URL=YourNextPage.aspx");  
}

This code you can also put in Load event of the page so that it'll redirect to another page after loading current page.

I love doing my stuff in JavaScript :-) I love JS. Here is my JS solution .

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
setTimeout('Redirect()',4000);
function Redirect()
{
  location.href = 'your-redirect-to-link';
}

// --></script>

The page will be redirected after 4 minutes. You have to insert that into the head obviously.

Note: The SpinWait parameter is a cycle count and not seconds as the above suggests.

Taken from MSDN page http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.threading.thread.spinwait.aspx

The SpinWait method is useful for implementing locks. Classes in the .NET Framework, such as Monitor and ReaderWriterLock, use this method internally. SpinWait essentially puts the processor into a very tight loop, with the loop count specified by the iterations parameter. The duration of the wait therefore depends on the speed of the processor.

you can do so using:

System.Threading.Thread.Wait(60); 
Response.Redirect("Somepage.aspx");

Edit:

System.Threading.Thread.SpinWait(60);
Response.Redirect("Somepage.aspx");

You cannot use C# code to redirect after a certain time from the server side, since C# is executed on server side. You can do this by having the meta tag in your HTML:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="300; url=newlocation">

You can write code in C# to create this tag, Here is an example:

HtmlMeta meta = new HtmlMeta();  
HtmlHead head = (HtmlHead)Page.Header;

meta.HttpEquiv= "refresh";
meta.Content = "300; url=newlocation";
head.Controls.Add(meta);

Doing this on the client would be better than doing it on the server.

You'll need to use javascript to setup a timer and then redirect.

See this on how to redirect: How to redirect to another webpage in JavaScript/jQuery?

See this for timers:
