One problem you may have with your approach is that if the update fails or the server is unavailable, the user is moved off the page with no knowledge of the problem. You would basically be hitting the server and then never sticking around to see what happend.

If you know where the user should go after saving their changes, you can direct them from the server side with a Response.Redirect(). If the URL is something that changes, you could get the referring URL, hold onto it , then redirect to that.

private void MmButton1_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
bool goodsave = saveNgo();  // sets ds and saves it back to db
if(goodsave)
Response.Redirect("back button url")
else
Response.Redirect("problem url")
}
