Prevent Form Resubmit

I've been looking for this answer for a couple weeks now but many other questions/answers don't fit my project or simply don't work.
Let me explain my project.
It is a simple View Page which on page load it would set the Text to different fields throughout the page. On the bottom I have a container with buttons which control which div is displayed in the container. On each click of the button, I run some code to set data sources to grid views or fill fields with text. I noticed when I click F5 to refresh the page I get that pesky "form resubmission" popup which will cause the last button click such as appending a note to a listview to be duplicated.
Here is some code to understand what I am doing

protected void Button_Sub_Menu_Notes_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
resetSubMenuButtons();
Button_Sub_Menu_Notes.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Orange;
Div_Sub_Menu_Notes.Visible = true;
string bondID = Request.QueryString["BondID"];
bindNotes(bondID);
}
protected void bindNotes(string bondID)
{
DataTable dt = Common_Functions.GetData("SELECT * FROM View_Bond_Notes_With_Name WHERE Bond_ID='" + bondID + "' ORDER BY Created_DateTime DESC");
LV_Notes.DataSource = dt;
LV_Notes.DataBind();
}
protected void LV_Notes_PagePropertiesChanging(object sender, PagePropertiesChangingEventArgs e)
{
(LV_Notes.FindControl("DataPager_Notes") as DataPager).SetPageProperties(e.StartRowIndex, e.MaximumRows, false);
string bondID = Request.QueryString["BondID"];
bindNotes(bondID);
}
protected void LV_Notes_ItemCommand(object sender, ListViewCommandEventArgs e)
{
if (String.Equals(e.CommandName, "View_Document"))
{
ListViewDataItem dataItem = (ListViewDataItem)e.Item;
string documentID = e.CommandArgument.ToString();
Session["BondDocumentID"] = documentID;
Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(GetType(), "openDocument", "window.open('/FileServing/Bond_Document_Server.aspx');", true);
}
}
protected void Button_Append_New_Note_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string bondID = Request.QueryString["BondID"];
string UserID = Request.Cookies["UserID"].Value;
string newNote = TextArea_New_Note.Value;
if (String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(newNote))
{
return;
}
cmd = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO Bond_Notes " +
"(Bond_ID, Created_DateTime, Created_By, Note) " +
"VALUES " +
"(#Bond_ID, #Created_DateTime, #Created_By, #Note)", conn);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Bond_ID", bondID);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Created_DateTime", DateTime.Now);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Created_By", UserID);
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("#Note", (String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(newNote) ? (object)DBNull.Value : newNote));
conn.Open();
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
conn.Close();
TextArea_New_Note.Value = "";
bindNotes(bondID);
}
So when the user clicks "Button_Append_New_Note", the code will fire to run the sqlcommand and then refreshes the ListView by calling the "bindNotes(bondID)". If the user clicks F5 or hits refresh for whatever reason, they are resubmitting that form and add duplicates. I've read many solutions to redirect to the same page, this will not work in my case since the div would be hidden again and I would prefer the Notes div to stay visible so the user can see their new note in the listview. I also prefer not to have an sql check to look for a duplicate and prevent an insert since I may want the user to insert duplicates if they chose to at another time, but the user would manually type in the duplicate.
Any recommendations or suggestions on how to avoid the form resubmission?
Also please no criticizing on the code, I am looking for answers, not a lecture on why its bad to build an SQL sentence with inline string addition. I will correct and optimize these faults eventually.
If you found my solution elsewhere, please ensure it would work in my case cause I have found my same question many times, but not with my scenario.
Thanks in advance.

As you probably know, ASP.NET Web Forms send POST requests back to the server and then re-render the Page in the same request. This is why we see the form re-submission message when we click "reload".
To avoid this issue, we should employ the post-then-redirect pattern used by many web applications. Here's a quick overview:
A user clicks a button which submits the form as a POST request.
The server receives the request and saves the data.
The server issues a redirect response along with any needed state.
The browser receives the redirect and loads the appropriate page by sending a GET request.
Because we redirect the browser to a new (or the same) location, this clears the POST data from the previous request so we can hit "reload" without re-submitting the same data again. The URL that we redirect to should contain only the data needed for the server to interpret what to display on the page. This pattern provides a durable way to maintain state between requests in HTTP.
To apply this to the Web Form in the question, we need to change some assumptions about how the page loads. Instead of binding the notes to the page after running each POST action, we'll redirect the user first, and then bind the notes:
protected void Button_Append_New_Note_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string bondID = Request.QueryString["BondID"];
// Save the new note...
Response.Redirect("http://example.com/Page.aspx?BondID=" + bondID);
}
Then, when the browser loads the redirect:
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
bindNotes(Request.QueryString["BondID"]);
}
}
We'll need to change each of the post-back methods to use this pattern. Some of the methods may need to add additional parameters to the redirect URL that the page reads to configure the display.

This is quite easy and blocks the pop up asking for form resubmission on refresh once the form is submitted. Just place this line of javascript code at the footer of your file and see the magic.
<script>
if ( window.history.replaceState ) {
window.history.replaceState( null, null, window.location.href );
}
</script>

ASP.NET passing a function return value from a modalpopupextender to the main form

I have looked at a number of solutions to my basic issue, but have not found any solution that I either understand or that would work.
I have a page that takes in two items of information, filename and a store. The user then clicks on a button to execute a function that will update a database and send back a resulting string that I want to display on a textbox on the main form.
However, when they press the button I call a modalpopupextender using an UpdatePanel panel. That gets a value into the modalpopup. If the user validates that the correct store is selected they click an 'okay' button which then call the dbprocessing function that returns a result. The page is small so I'll give the complete aspx and c# code.
The function doProcess() returns a List of values which I convert to String for display. I left the session variables in for that was my last attempt at trying to get this to work.
Where I am confused is that when the first button on the main form (Process) is clicked, there is a postback which obviously hits the page load before the button click. That is when I display the popup. Then when the user clicks on the button Okay, another postback is perform hitting page load before the button click and in that second button I originally tried to set the textbox on the main page because there is no other action after the second click, but no data displayed.
What is strange, if I repeat the process, when I click to display the popup, my data displays. This is not making sense.
This is the aspx page

lblMessage.Text = "";
}
//}
}

If I don't misunderstand your request your problem is caused by the postbacks. I think you can handle better your logic with jquery. For example you can use jquery to close the popup without performing postback:
$('#lBtnVerifyRequestClose').click(function (event) {
event.preventDefault();
$('#pnlVerifyRequestPopup').dialog('close');
});
the event.preventDefault() ensure that postback are not executed.
If you need server logic to put data on your popup you can bind a jquery function to the dialog on open event and retrieve there data / perform your logic. In this way your form will be submitted to the server only once at the end of the process.

Send information stored in a repeater to email recipient?

I would like to take all information stored in a repeater and place it in the body of an email message for sending. Basically, it's a product order form (which also makes use of a repeater) that sends users to an order review page with a form at the bottom that allows them to send the order information to someone else. I am allowed to set up the order information as a table. I have everything working, and my code successfully sends emails. However, I am not sure how to pull the order review repeater's contents into the message body for an email.
Any suggestions/tips are appreciated! Thanks!

I think this answer has what you're looking for. Basically, you can use javascript to send the html to the server in order to include it in your email:
asp.net get html controls in code behind
Also, make sure you include a ValidateRequest="false" on the page in order to post back html

if someone else has same problem and the repeater object has no image this solution is simple and easy instead of trust to a client javascript feedback !!
System.IO.StringWriter stringWrite = new System.IO.StringWriter();
System.Web.UI.HtmlTextWriter htmlWrite =new HtmlTextWriter(stringWrite);
Repeater1.RenderControl(htmlWrite);string emailContent = stringWrite.ToString();

Address bar is showing the address of previous page

I am having Default.aspx Page for Login. After Successful Login it shows the ItemValuation.aspx Page but in the address bar the link shown is Default.aspx. The problem started after I implimented the jquery in my Project. If I remove the jquery
references and Code then link shown is correct after login i.e. ItemValuation.aspx
Can any one tell me how can I solve this Problem? After successful Login on Default.aspx the link shown in address bar should be ItemValuation.aspx For your reference I am posting the Default Page aspx code.
Thanks in Advance.

jQuery Mobile is the one that's doing that. By default, it changes all links and form submissions through AJAX.
To disable this... interesting... functionality, you need to add a handler to the mobileinit event, and set ajaxEnabled to false.
Docs here on how exactly to do this: http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.1.0/docs/api/globalconfig.html

Contact form in SiteFinity C#

I want to do basic functionality with a simple contact form and on submit the form emails to someone. This is quite easy to do in asp.net, however I am having trouble once I upload it as a user control. Do you have a good example I can look at? Thank you!

It is the same as you would have in a normal asp.net page, the sample assumes you are using the latest version of Sitefinity and that you are have a RadScriptManager or ScriptManager on your master page.
Firstly here is my example form codebehind:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Net.Mail;
using System.Text;
using System.ComponentModel;
public partial class UserControls_LandingPage_contactForm : System.Web.UI.UserControl
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}
protected void btnSubmit_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
bool bSent = false;
try
{
//create the email and add the settings
var email = new MailMessage();
email.From = new MailAddress(FromEmail);
email.To.Add(new MailAddress(FromEmail));
email.Subject = Subject;
email.IsBodyHtml = true;
//build the body
var sBody = new StringBuilder();
sBody.Append("<strong>Contact Details</strong><br /><br />");
sBody.AppendFormat("Needs: {0}<br />", cboConsultationType.SelectedValue);
sBody.AppendFormat("Name: {0}<br />", txtName.Text);
sBody.AppendFormat("Email: {0}<br />", txtEmail.Text);
sBody.AppendFormat("Number: {0}<br />", txtPhone.Text);
sBody.AppendFormat("Comment: {0}<br />", txtMsg.Text);
email.Body = sBody.ToString();
//send the email
var smtpServer = new SmtpClient();
smtpServer.Send(email);
//mark as sent ok
bSent = true;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
//send any errors back
//add your own custom handling of errors;
}
//let the end user know if it was a success
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), "alert", "alert('" + (bSent ? SuccessText : FailureText) + "');", true);
}
//properties
public string FromEmail
{
get { return _fromEmail; }
set { _fromEmail = value; }
}
public string Subject
{
get { return _subject; }
set { _subject = value; }
}
public string SuccessText
{
get { return _successText; }
set { _successText = value; }
}
public string FailureText
{
get { return _failureText; }
set { _failureText = value; }
}
//fields
private string _fromEmail = "info#example.com.au";
private string _subject = "Website Enquiry";
private string _successText = "Thank you for submitting your details we will be in touch shortly.";
private string _failureText = "There was a problem submitting your details please try again shortly.";

Then the only other items you need to be wary of is in the web.config you need to modify the system.net settings for email:
<system.net>
<mailSettings>
<smtp from="mailmaster#yourdomain.com">
<network host="smtp.yourdomain.com" userName="Your_Username" password="Your_Password" port="25" />
</smtp>
</mailSettings>
</system.net>
Then upload the control or modify your web.config . Then provided your SMTP server is all set up correctly the form should send no problem.
I hope this helps you out.

I think one good approach is using the incorporated mail sender. The profits are that you can configure the settings inside the Administration->Settings->Advanced->System->SMTP
var smtpSettings = Config.Get<SystemConfig>().SmtpSettings;
MailMessage message = new MailMessage();
message.From = new MailAddress(smtpSettings.UserName);
message.To.Add(new MailAddress(toEmail));
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.AppendFormat(body);
message.Subject = subject;
message.Body = sb.ToString();
message.IsBodyHtml = true;
message.BodyEncoding = Encoding.Unicode;
message.SubjectEncoding = Encoding.Unicode;
EmailSender.Get().Send(message);
You can use notifications too.
