Use NavigateUrl with StandardButton Type

The RadButton control has a NavigateUrl property which is used for specifying a URL to redirect to, when the button is set to ButtonType=LinkButton.

There is a way to achieve this functionality with a RadButton configured as StandardButton by handling the client-side event OnClientClicking. In the event handler you should open with JavaScript the URL, specified in the NavigateUrl property. The code below demonstrates how to implement such functionality:

ASP.NET

<script type="text/javascript">
	function OnClientClicking(button, args) {
		window.location = button.get_navigateUrl();
		args.set_cancel(true);
	}
</script>

<telerik:RadButton RenderMode="Lightweight" ID="RadButton" runat="server" Text="RadButton" NavigateUrl="https://www.telerik.com/" OnClientClicking="OnClientClicking">
</telerik:RadButton>

Please note that you should cancel the click event and the post-back after the redirect, via the set_cancel client-side method.
