Sharepoint 2010 redirect from event receiver (after creating site)

Question

My issue is: In Sharepoint 2010 after user create site, at first I need to redirect user to my custom page and not to redirect user to url of new site.

I created event reciever for web and tried site after creating to redirect on my page with using SPUtility.Redirect():

public class MySiteEventReceiver : SPWebEventReceiver
{
    public override void WebProvisioned(SPWebEventProperties properties)
    {
        var web = properties.Web;
        base.WebProvisioned(properties);

        string url = web.Site.Url + "/_LAYOUTS/MyPage.aspx";
        SPUtility.Redirect(url, SPRedirectFlags.CheckUrl, HttpContext.Current);
    }
}

But always HttpContext.Current is null.

I was looking for the solution of my problem in the intrnet. And I found it: http://www.sharepointkings.com/2008/05/httpcontext-in-eventhandler.html

I did it:

public class MySiteEventReceiver : SPWebEventReceiver
{
    private static HttpContext oContext;

    public SubSiteEventReceiver() : base()
    {
        if (oContext == null)
        {
            oContext = HttpContext.Current;
        }
    }
    public override void WebProvisioned(SPWebEventProperties properties)
    {
        var web = properties.Web;
        base.WebProvisioned(properties);

        string url = web.Site.Url + "/_LAYOUTS/MyPage.aspx";
        SPUtility.Redirect(url, SPRedirectFlags.CheckUrl, oContext);
    }
}

After that HttpContext was not null ( I set for WebProvisioned properties Synchronous)

<Synchronization>Synchronous</Synchronization>

But in this case I get error "Unable to evaluate expression because the code is optimized or a native frame is on top of the call stack".

I also tried to go another way for redirect. http://sharesilver.wordpress.com/2011/07/24/sharepoint-bugs-1-item-deleting-event-receiver/

But in this case also nothing doesn't work.

I would be grateful for any attempt to help!

If you are able to get the context properly then instead of using SPUtility.Redirect, you can try oContext.Response.Redirect("url", false), the second parameter(false) is important — Mac

Hi u can try this for redirecting from event receiver to your custom page

    properties.Status = SPEventReceiverStatus.CancelWithRedirectUrl;
    properties.RedirectUrl = "/_layouts/EventReceiver/CustomError.aspx";
