Please provide more clarification over you question?
what you exactly want like you have to go Back as like Browser button or else Redirection using Response.Redirect?

Please make your question clear.

// go back to previous page
<input type=button value="back" onclick='history.go(-1)'>

Response.Redirect("PreviousPage.aspx");

Pass page path (with querystring) so you know where you came from to this page.. and on back button put something like this
<code>
<asp:Button runat="server" ID='btnBack' OnClientClick="fnJSgotoPrevious(<%= PreviousPage %>);return false;" />
</code>
then you have to define a JS on your page
<code>
<script language="javascript">
function fnJSgotoPrevious(previousPage)
{
document.window.location.href=previousPage;
}
</script>
</code>
in your code behind define this property
<code>
protected string PreviousPage
{
get { return Request.QueryString("PreviousPage");}
}
</code>
and when you call this page you have to pass extra parameter in previouspage now..
something like this
<code>
Response.Redirect("ReportPage.aspx?PreviousPage=ThisPageName.aspx");
</code>

Hi
You can try following:

C#

<a href="javascript:history.go(-1)">Go back</a>

Please do let me know, if you have any doubt.
