and redirect to other form.

you can use the javascript alert function to display a message box to the user:

 

<script language="Javascript">

 

<!--

alert ("Message goes in here")

//-->

 

</script>

i want to display it as text not as message box

In that case, you could use a label control and set its text property to your desired text when the button is clicked, using the onclick event:

 

Me.Label1.text = "Successful" 'Or something like this

how will it be possible to display the text message

 

i have to maintain some delay between displaying the message and redirecting to next form

After populating the label use:

 

'Will pause for (i think) 1 second (could be 10), but either way set the value
'for the sleep to the time u want
Thread.Sleep(1000) 

 

This simulates a delay then your code to redirect can be placed after

the time duration is in milliseconds

therefore Thread.Sleep(1000) -- > sleeps for a second

Interesting to see if this will work. Considering the label has been rendered to the page and the user is now disconnected from the webserver. You can do a wait page type of thing by overriding the response in the render sub. Or you can do this in javascript.

No this is not working i gave 10 seconds sleep time , label is not displaying but its redirecting to next page
