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

Answer / swapna

Server.transfer redirects the output to another page
whereas response.redirect Redirects/moves the user to
another page .

If u want to submit output of one page to another page use
sever.transfer. if u want to navigate to another page use
Response.Redirect.

Answer / santosh

In response.redirect the page's state is not maintained.
while in server.transfer it is maintained.
In response.redirect the user makes request to browser to
transfer to another page and then the browser serves the
request.
While in server.transfer this roundtrip is not there the
user is directly transfered to another page.

Answer / ramesh

Server.Redirect:
response the page or return output without any request from
the client(Browser)
ex
Server.Redirect("Demo.aspx")
Disadvantage
it does not allow query String

Request.Redirect:
send the request(page) to server and processed it, finaly
redirect to corressponding page
Response.Redirect("Demo.aspx")
