Server.Transfer v/s Response.Redirect in asp.net

Server.Transfer v/s Response.Redirect in asp.net

-Both these are used to transfer one page to another page in asp.net.

-Response.Redirect(“newpage.aspx”) and Server.Transfer(“newpage.aspx”)

Difference between Server.Transfer and Response.Redirect in asp.net

- Response.Redirect sends the request for the new page to the browser then browser

sends the request for the new page to the webserver.

- but in the case of Server.Transfer it directly communicate with the server to change

the page hence it saves a roundtrip in the whole process.

-If you are using Server.Transfer then you can directly access the values,

controls and properties of the previous page

-But in Response.Redirect, it is not possible.

-Server.Transfer retains the original URL in the browser’s address bar.

It just replaces the contents of the previous page with the new one.

-Response.Redirect can be used for both .aspx and html pages whereas Server.Transfer

can be used only for .aspx pages and is specific to ASP and ASP.NET.
