Back to current Form

Ramco Ramco

I have 2 Forms . On Click of button in Form1 page Form5 opens , I want if user clicks Back on Form5 it should go Back to Form1.

If user clicked on button In Form2 it also opens Form5. If user clicks on Back then it should goto Form2 not Form1.

Back button on Form5.

Back

Thanks

Accepted answer
Yes you can use , you need to redirect to previous page as
if (Request.UrlReferrer != null)
{
string previousPageUrl = Request.UrlReferrer.AbsoluteUri;
Response.Redirect(previousPageUrl );
}

yes, it checks the browser history and issues a request for the first previous page.
if you don't want to use javascript then use
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (Request.UrlReferrer != null)
    {
        string previousPageUrl = Request.UrlReferrer.AbsoluteUri;
        string previousPageName = System.IO.Path.GetFileName(Request.UrlReferrer.AbsolutePath);
    }
}

There are multiple ways but this is easiest
"btnCancel" runat="server" class="btn bg-warning" text="Cancel" OnClientClick="JavaScript:window.history.back(1); return false;">
