Maybe your suggestion makes more sense, thank you. But I am clear about something. Let me describe better what I am trying to do:
I want to have a button on the page that will clear all values in the textbox and dropdownlist controls of the page. Note that INPUT with type="reset" will not work here. So I need to reload the page and in the PAGE_LOAD method or in the method that you describe to clear the values.

>Then what I think is that you don't want a page load, since you want to pass a parameter to it, it that case why do you create a method on your form and on the page load call that method and on the button click event call the same method passing the param you want.
>looks like a more intuitive design and easy to read and maintain.

>>What is the command to put into the OnClick method of a button that will reload the page but not post it back. And at the same time I would like to "pass" a parameter to the server so that when the page is loaded I can use this parameter in the Page_Load method?

>>Thank you in advance for your help.
