Change Url of a website in webfroms while the website is running

Well, its abit hard to expline what i mean.

but, lets say you are connecting to a website called "www.active.com/active".

and you want while you are in the page, or when load the page. that the url will change.

lets say, you are just wrote "www.active.com/active" you can connecting and the url will be "www.active.com/active2" when the page is done loading.

or, while you are in the page, after 15 sec it will change to /active2.

any way?

EDIT:

without changing the page. only the url.

This is not possible (and I'm quite glad of it!)

You are talking about editing the user's browser bar URL text box. This is a part of the user's software, and not content within the page.

Furthermore, if this was possible, hackers could convince you that you were on a site such as HSBC or Facebook, when really youre on a malicious site which is storing your details.

For answers on how to redirect to another page, see my below response:

You could do a HTML redirect after 15 seconds:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
   <title>Your Page Title</title>
   <meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="15;url=http://www.active.com/active2">
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

Or if you wish for an immediate redirect, you could handle this server side:

protected void Page_Load(){
   Response.Redirect("/active2");
}

Use Response.Redirect() in Page_Load of codebehind of www.active.com/active.aspx to redirect immediately:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Response.Redirect("~/active2");
}

For timed redirection use in same aspx page:

<script type="text/JavaScript">
    setTimeout("location.href = 'www.active.com/active2.aspx';",15000);
</script>

You can use a redirect.

That could be done using a client side redirect (if you want it to occur after being on the page for some time) or using a server side redirect (if you want it to occur when the user first loads the page).

Client Side Example:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5; url=http://example.com/">

Says: Load http://example.com after 5 seconds.

See: Wikipedia

Server Side Example:

Response.Redirect("/active2")

Says: Redirect user to this page using HTTP Headers

See: Developer.com

Server Side Example 2:

Server.Transfer("/active2")

Says: Redirect the request to this new page on the server (it transfers the user without ever telling the browser).

See: Developer.com

That should give you enough to cover the basics.

For the first one, it sounds like a URL rewrite or a forward. If you're doing a rewrite, apache has loads of different options (I see you're using asp.net, so you're probably using IIS, which I'm not sure about, but I want to say it doesn't support it). If you're doing a forward, it would be in the head.

The second one, is probably a POST function from the form.
