Response vs Server ???

[Guest]

Dear all,

I have a problem to identify when I need to use
Response.Redirect("mypage.aspx") or Server.Transfert("myPage.aspx") ?

Does any one have any tips for remembering ?

regards
thanks

Server.Transfer switches to the other page mid-request from the client's
perspective. Since it's all server side, the client has no idea the server's
done this. The URL in the browser will be the first page.

Response.Redirect sends back a 302 (IIRC) and a location for the new page
to request. So the browser makes a second request into the server for the
other page. The URL in the browser will be that of the second page since
the browser had to make the second request.

Thanks brok for your answer, but I forgot to tell you that I am beginer in
asp and I did not catch what you are saying, do you have a simple way ?

When I should use one compare to the other?

I am just learning ASP and try to understand clearly each things in order t
prepare my exams. And as long as one thing in not clear in my mind I am not
able to go further.

Thanks if you cold clarify your answer for a beginner

In that case, I'd suggest using Response.Redirect -- I use that much more
than I use Server.Transfer. In essence it's simply saying that your page
has decided that the user should go somewhere else (to a different page).
