Hi all gurus,
I've found no article about my question. Is it possible from ASP.NET
to call a page without the buttons to move back and forward?

If I understand your question, the answer is no. The
appearance (or lack thereof) of the forward and backward
navigation buttons is a function of the browser, not of
the page being rendered. While it *may* be possible for
a page to control the buttons for IE, that some code
would be highly unlikely to work for other browsers. And
I say *may* because I have no idea whether it is even
possible. I suspect not.

The generic solution to the problem of keeping users from
clicking on the back/forward button is a programming
challenge. First, you would need to define the headers
to expire the content. At the very least, this would
force the user to refresh the page before seeing the
content. Second, the pages need to keep track of where
they are within the application. For example, certain
pages would only be available if the previous page was
Page A or Page B. Navigating from any other page would
cause an error screen (or some other generic page) to be
displayed. Trust me when I say this is not trivial to
set up.

Hope this helps (even though it may not be what you want
to hear).

Thank you for your fast and complete reply. Unfortunately, it sounds
like what I expected.
