asp.net delay before response redirect

Question

Is it possible to delay the response.redirect in an asp.net page by 5 seconds?

something like delay.response.redirect("myURL.aspx")

I need to run a jquery animation before the page redirects.

I don't want to use meta refresh if I can help it but if that's the only way or the best way then please let me know.

thanks

Answer 1

ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this.UpdatePanel1, this.GetType(), "click", "alert('Cliente cadastrado com sucesso.'); setTimeout(function(){window.location.href ='../../Default.aspx'}, 3000);", true);

Answer 2

Response.AddHeader("REFRESH", "5;URL=http://redirectPage.aspx")

5 = delay in seconds.
