Thought I would share a server control I just developed for a project I'm working on. When you log into vbforums, you are presented to a page that displays a message and then transfers you to another page after 2 seconds or so. This simple control allows you to set the timeout and destination url. Here's the class:

Code:
using System;
using System.Text;
using System.Web.UI;

namespace VegaControlsLib {

	public class PageTransfer : Control {

		#region Protected Overrides
		/// <summary>
		/// Registers the client script block
		/// </summary>
		protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e) {
			base.OnPreRender(e);
			if (TransferUrl != null) {
				string scriptKey = typeof(PageTransfer).FullName;
				Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock(scriptKey, GetClientScriptBlock());
			}
		}
		#endregion

		#region Private Methods
		/// <summary>
		/// Builds the necessary script block used for the transfer
		/// </summary>
		/// <returns>Script Block</returns>
		private string GetClientScriptBlock() {
			StringBuilder script = new StringBuilder();
			
			script.Append("<script language='JavaScript'>");
			script.Append("\n\t");
			script.Append("<!--");
			script.Append("\n\t");
			script.Append(String.Format("setTimeout('window.location=\"{0}\"', '{1}')", TransferUrl, Timeout));
			script.Append("\n\t");
			script.Append("//-->");
			script.Append("\n\t");
			script.Append("</script>");
			
            return script.ToString();			
		}
		#endregion

		#region Public Properties
		/// <summary>
		/// Gets and sets the transfer url
		/// </summary>
		private string _transferUrl;
		public string TransferUrl {
			get { return _transferUrl; }
			set {
				_transferUrl = value;
			}
		}

		/// <summary>
		/// Gets and sets the timeout
		/// </summary>
		private int _timeout = 2500;
		public int Timeout {
			get { return _timeout; }
			set {
				_timeout = value;
			}
		}
		#endregion
	}
}

Next, you need to register the control on your page by adding this to the top of your aspx page:
Code:
<%@ Register TagPrefix="VegaControls" Namespace="VegaControlsLib" Assembly="VegaControlsLib" %>

// ie..
<VegaControls:PageTransfer runat="server" TransferUrl="http://www.google.com" Timeout='5000' />
