asp.net - Why does Response.Redirect close my browser window instead of redirecting? -

whenever I use the response, even then. Instead of navigating the given URL, the window is redirected, here is the code.

  if (mode == "print") {error_code.Text = ""; //thumb.Src = file_loc + "source /" + "certificate_thumbnail.jpeg"; Link.HRef = "certificate /" + u_name + ".pdf"; Link.Visible = true; Response.Redirect ("http://xx.xxxxxxxxxxxxx.xx.gov/cert/Certificates/" + u_name + ".pdf"); }  

(I removed the URL for security purposes which is my customer ...)

The problem is due to opening an aspx page in which the redirect. Is pdf As ASPX is pre-compiled when the text / html opened with IE expects to come back - though as you actually received the application / redirected the PDF, IE itself craps and closes. Try it in Firefox - I bet it works fine.

I really have the same problem at the moment and yet have to find an alternative solution. Look at this link though, there are some good things that can help.
