What's the difference in....

response.redirect and server.transfer?

I am on a single production server in an application that is both asp.net
and traditional ASP code.

In some of the code (that I didn't author), there are some server.transfers
in which some querystrings are passed along to the new .aspx file.

If they both do the same thing, is one more advantageous to use than the
other?

Thanks,

SC

Response.Redirect() is a client side action, where Server.Transfer() is a
server side action.
if you use the second one, the page that you're transfering to will not be
added to the browser history list, so if the user, later on, uses the "Back"
browser button he won't see that page.

If that makes any sense to you.
