Best way to get a label to change text/ redirect page after delay

Question

I'm trying to implement in asp.net (c#) the following flow:

1. User clicks on a button
2. A text label presented
3. Waiting for 3 seconds
4. Reloading the page

I have been trying a few things in c# but i'm starting to think it's easier implement this in javascript

Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

try like this

 <script type="text/javascript"> function callthis() { setTimeout('window.location = "home.aspx"', 3000); } </script> 

call this from server side on button click

If you Used Update Panels Then You can Use:

ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), Guid.NewGuid().ToString(), "callthis();", true);

Other Wise You can Use

ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript
        (GetType(),Guid.NewGuid().ToString(), "callthis();",true);
