Using HttpContext for InfoPath 2007 codebehind

Question

What am I doing wrong here please? I get a NullReferenceException.

string outUrl = "http://whatever.com";
HttpContext context = HttpContext.Current;
context.Response.Redirect(outUrl, false);

When I use new like this:

HttpContext HC = new HttpContext();

I get No Overload for method. I am working with .NET 2 inside VSTA.

Please don't prefix your titles with "C#" and such. That's what the tags are for. — John Saunders, May 29 '12 at 22:48

HttpContext is not possible to instanciate and will only be created by your application.

It even really hard to mock (create a fake), Why do you need one ? what is your application type ?

In short, I need to mix rules and code with an InfoPath form. I want to redirect the user to a webpage after they have clicked on the submit button. I would also be fine with closing the form programatically, but that's also a challenge. – Sean May 30 '12 at 13:35
I ended up doing this in a different way with conditional formatting in InfoPath. Thanks for the answer. I didn't want to chase an empty solution. – Sean May 31 '12 at 14:50
I think you did well, it was just impossible. – Kuqd May 31 '12 at 15:20
I never added any detail here so: instead of redirecting, I added a section (with rules) saying thanks for submitting that would become the only visible element on the page once the form was submitted. – Sean Oct 25 '12 at 14:59
