suresh What is the difference between Server.Transfer and Response.Redirect in ASP.NET?
Server.Transfer and Response.Redirect are two common methods used for redirecting users to different pages in ASP.NET.
Server.Transfer:
Server.Transfer is a server-side redirect method that transfers control from one page to another without changing the URL in the browser. It is faster and more efficient than Response.Redirect because it does not involve a round trip to the client browser. However, with Server.Transfer, the original URL remains the same in the browser's address bar.
Response.Redirect:
Response.Redirect is a client-side redirect method that sends a redirect response to the browser, instructing it to request a new page. This leads to an additional round trip, as the browser needs to make a new request to the server with the new URL. Response.Redirect changes the URL in the browser's address bar to the new location.
When deciding between Server.Transfer and Response.Redirect, consider the trade-offs between speed, control, and URL visibility in the user's browser.
