Hi Clinton,

I can honestly say that the only time I use the <% %> notation is within the
page body accompanied with # or = to output dynamic values or call methods.

<%# expression %>
<%# MyMethod(MyParameter) %>
<%= expression %>
<%= MyMethod(MyParameter) %>

I have yet to find myself in a situation where using <% %> for any other
reason would be beneficial over server side script blocks and event
procedures.

I'd have to defer to your insight of Dreamweaver datasets but your comments
about "code blocks" being completely useless are misleading.

Actually the use of <% %> expression handlers (code blocks) continue to be
useful for those that do learn more about the page event model. Furthermore
there are new expression handlers [1] introduced with ASP.NET 2.0.

any code within <% %> is going to be interpreted before the dataset has any
data loaded into it.

Dreamweaver datasets are implemented as usercontrols and fetch datafrom the
database during the Page_Load phase, so your code will never work.

Stick a Page_Load in the page and place your Response.Redirect there, that
should work.

Using <% %> for server side code is the old ASP way of doing things,
unfortunately ASP.NET still allows this even though its completely useless,
always place your code within <script runat="server"> tags, and learn about
the lifecycle of an ASP.NET page, its all event driven these days.

Try assigning the value to a variable...

string redirect = "success.aspx?login_ID=...";
Response.Redirect(redirect);

Is this coming from a DW dataset or one you have written yourself.
