Method 1

I think you are almost there. You need more HTML headers to support all browsers. According to this article on SO these are the ones that work on all browsers:

Cache-Control: no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate
Pragma: no-cache
Expires: 0

The full code for this is:

HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate");
HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Pragma", "no-cache");
HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("Expires", "0");

Method 2

response.setHeader("Cache-Control", "no-cache, no-store, must-revalidate");
response.setHeader("Pragma", "no-cache"); 
response.setDateHeader("Expires", 0);

These header will only work on pages on which they are included not for all the web application, so either you should add filter which include this header to all pages or you can disable back button.
