Hi,
can anyone tell,What is the difference between Server.Transfer and Response.Redirect? Why would I choose one over the other?

Thanks,

Response.Redirect sends Message to the Browser to redirect to the Page we wish to navigate .
Server.Transfer Directly redirects to that Page.

So round trip to the Client is avoided in the Server.Tranfer Method

Also In server.Transfer method there is a Property called PreserveForm which enables us to Preserve the Form details form where we navigated .

But in Response.Redirect Method, There is no connection between the Requested Page and the Routed Page.Thought there is a option to maintain the State it is Very tedious since we have to use the Session Varaiable to obtain state.

Server.Transfer Method can redirect to the Page within the Web server Itself.

But Response.Redirect can redirect to different servers.

So if we want to navigate within the Web server, Server.Transfer Is the best.If we want to redirect to other Server Response.Redirect is the Best
