  I notice that radribbonbutton does not have a NavigationUrl Property to navigate to a specific aspx. Is there a property to navigate to aspx from the radribbonbutton. If not, How would I do it in code from the .cs file.
  
  
   protected void RadRibbonBar1_ButtonClick(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.RibbonBarButtonClickEventArgs e)
      {
          switch (e.Button.Text)
          {
              case "Calender":
                  break;
  
              default:
                  break;
          }

  Hi Keith,
  
  Thank you for this suggestion.
  We will consider implementing this functionality and will let you know once we reach a decision on it.
  
  You can redirect to a different page both on the server and on the client:
   - Server: using the Response.Redirect method;
   - Client: using the window.location = 'url' method.

  Hello Vaibhav,
  
  You can register a JavaScript object (using RegisterClientScript), containing the url's that are assigned for different buttons and client-side on ClientButtonClicking to to navigate using this object.
  
  Here is a nice article on objects used as associative arrays in JavaScript: http://www.quirksmode.org/js/associative.html
  
  And about the actual navigation:
   - you can navigate using JavaScript like follows:
  

  window.location.href = "/somewhere/else";

  I agree that this would be a very good feature to have.  We are currently using the Value property in the radribbonbutton as the navigation url.  We then use the button click event with a response.redirect(value) to forward to the proper page.

  I'm doing the same thing with the value parameter.  It would be nice to have a navigation url or even a onclientclick event built in for all buttons, including stribbuttons.

  Hello,
  
  @John: "It would be nice to have a navigation url or even a onclientclick event built in for all buttons, including stribbuttons."
   - There already is such event(s): http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/ribbonbar-client-buttonclicking.html
  And it works for buttons inside of ButtonStrip, also.
  You can check the rest of the events in the ClientEvents section.
  
  Although, we are convinced that the RibbonBar is a tool bar not a navigational menu, and should be use application-like style, we will consider implementing this feature as we always strive to keep our customers involved in the future development of our products.
  
  Thank you all, for sharing your thoughts on the topic. I cannot commit on ETA, but I can inform you about our decision in this same thread.

  Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems that there is only one onclientclick per button bar, I was looking for a onclientclick per actual button.  I'm handling it now when creating the button groups by adding an onclick attribute to the button it self.
  
  As for the RibbonBar being a tool bar and not a navigation bar, it all depends on how the website you are developing is structured.  The way my company is trying to implement it, its using it as a blending of both.  Some tabs are used for navigation, and others as traditional application style tools depending on where you are in the site, which tab is active, and what it is you are trying to do on that given page.

  Hi John,
  
  "Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems that there is only one onclientclick per button bar, I was looking for a onclientclick per actual button."
   - I apologize, but I don't understand what exactly do you mean. Could you, please, be a bit more specific?
  Thanks!
