Force page refresh on page load

dpdoug · Feb 9, 2004

I want to make sure that every time a page is opened it gets a fresh copy from the server and not the one stored in the user's cache. I'm using the meta tags below, but I'm not getting the desired effects:

Code:

<HEAD>
	<title>costsavings_summary</title>
	<meta content=&quot;Microsoft Visual Studio.NET 7.0&quot; name=&quot;GENERATOR&quot;>
	<meta content=&quot;Visual Basic 7.0&quot; name=&quot;CODE_LANGUAGE&quot;>
	<meta content=&quot;VBScript&quot; name=&quot;vs_defaultClientScript&quot;>
	<meta content=&quot;[URL unfurl="true"]http://schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/ie5&quot;[/URL] name=&quot;vs_targetSchema&quot;>
	<LINK href=&quot;styles.css&quot; type=&quot;text/css&quot; rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot;>
	<META http-EQUIV=&quot;Pragma&quot; CONTENT=&quot;no-cache&quot;>
	<meta HTTP-EQUIV=&quot;Expires&quot; CONTENT=&quot;0&quot;> 
</HEAD>

Well... it works sometimes, but usually on the second try, which defeats my purpose. Since this is a web application, it has to always pull the data from the database to build the screen everytime the page is opened.

Any suggestions?

dp: I would think a Page_Load event would assure a clean postback --

In an earlier thread, about 2 days old, posted by jfrost, don't have the number handy -- we discussed this issue - of caching --

There are ways to minimize or assure that caching is shut off, come of the methods are outlined in jfrost's thread. You might take a quick look (can't be more than a page, maybe 2, from pg 1).
