Hi Naresh,

you can achieve this by adding a meta tag in the header section of your HTML output:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="10; URL=http://xxx.com/wherever.aspx"></meta>

Addition:

This should be added to the error page and since you want this for 404 errors also, you'll have to create a customized Error page.

Cheers

Manfred

Hi Manfred,
The <meta> tag is working but, the url section points to an external website..how to redirect to a page in same web application?

Manfred Rudolf Bihy 15-Nov-10 4:20am

Well the url in my example is made up. You'll have to supply an url that points to your web application like this:
http://yourhost/yourwebapp/yourpage.aspx
or since you're already in your web application use a relative path
./wherever.aspx
