Try this:

<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" OnClientClick="PageRedirect(); return false;"/>

When i kept return false its working fine otherwise not. Want to know why to mention return

karaxuna Over a year ago

return false prevents default action. default action in this case is postback to the server, which is prevented

Yes in the function also we can return false
