response.redirect ,server.transfer will not create any

Answer / vaibhav nagar

Response.Redirect sends message to the browser saying it to
move to some
different page, while server.transfer does not send any
message to the browser
but rather redirects the user directly from the server
itself. So in server.transfer
there is no round trip while response.redirect has a round
trip and hence puts
a load on server.
Using Server.Transfer you can not redirect to a different
from the server itself.
Example if your server is www.yahoo.com you can not use
server.transfer to move
to www.microsoft.com but yes you can move to
www.yahoo.com/travels, i.e.
within websites. This cross server redirect is possible
only using
Response.redirect.
With server.transfer you can preserve your information. It
has a parameter
called as “preserveForm”. So the existing query string etc.
will be able in the
calling page.

In earlier versions of IIS, if we wanted to send a user to a new Web page, the only option we had was Response.Redirect. While this method does accomplish our goal, it has several important drawbacks. The biggest problem is that this method causes each page to be treated as a separate transaction. Besides making it difficult to maintain your transactional integrity, Response.Redirect introduces some additional headaches. First, it prevents good encapsulation of code. Second, you lose access to all of the properties in the Request object. Sure, there are workarounds, but they're difficult. Finally, Response.Redirect necessitates a round trip to the client, which, on high-volume sites, causes scalability problems.
As you might suspect, Server.Transfer fixes all of these problems. It does this by performing the transfer on the server without requiring a roundtrip to the client.

Server.Transfer() : client is shown as it is on the requesting page only, but the all the content is of the requested page. Data can be persist accros the pages using Context.Item collection, which is one of the best way to transfer data from one page to another keeping the page state alive.
Response.Dedirect() :client know the physical location (page name and query string as well). Context.Items loses the persisitance when nevigate to destination page.
