how to trigger page refresh

Question

I am developing a webpart using VSTS 2008 + C# + .Net 3.5 + IIS 7.0 + ASP.Net. I want to refresh the whole page in my WebPart code, refresh I mean the same effect when user press F5 for browser.

I did not find a solution yet, any ideas?

Answer 1

Do it with javascript:

<a href="javascript:location.reload(true)">Refresh this page</a>

or if you want it automatically from the webpart, have it output code like this:

<script>
   window.location.reload(true);
</script>

(this assumes you're not in a frame)
