Hi there,

The Transfer doesn't work, because you're trying to Transfer to another server. Server.Transfer expects another ASPX page on the same server (that is why the Transfer method is part of the Server object).

Check out http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...sfertopic2.asp for more details.

To overcome this problem, use Response.Redirect. As the Redirect method tells the browser to request a new page, you can use it to redirect to other servers as well.
