What is the difference between Server.Transfer and Response.Redirect? Why would I choose one over ..

Answer / ganesh

Server.Transfer transfers page processing from one page
directly to the next page without making a round-trip back
to the client's browser. This provides a faster response
with a little less overhead on the server. Server.Transfer
does not update the clients url history list or current url.
Response.Redirect is used to redirect the user's browser to
another page or site. This performas a trip back to the
client where the client's browser is redirected to the new
page. The user's browser history list is updated to reflect
the new address.

Answer / ish rastogi

server.transfer is provide faster redirect way for the web
page in comparable to the response.redirect beacuse in te
case of server.transfer ,the page is redirect (one page to
another page)directly from the server means no round
triping is used.but in the case of response.redirect
firstly the client(browser)send the page request to the
server and the server send the request to the page means
one round triping process is used.
in the server.transfer the page can be redirect from
first page to the second page(continuousally)but in
response.redirect the page can be redirect from first page
to any page.
