Hi friends ,

am creating one application in that i want to navigate across multiple pages (around 10 pages)by showing firstpage url(hiding all other pages in url)

if any onee knows pls give rep


Vinod

Use Server.Transfer instead of Response.Redirect. But there are some drawbacks with using Server.Transfer . Search and read those drawbacks before using it.

Or you can create a single frame frameset in the first page and all navigation afterwards happens within the frame which doesn't affect the address bar.

I agree with Peter, use frameset




Nothing is impossible. The impossible only takes longer. "Digital Fortress, Dan Brown"

are you people talking about frame tag of HTML?

thanks......

Yes. You could either create one page with an IFRAME in it or an html FRAMESET with a single FRAME. They'll each function the same.

okay well what are its advantages compare to server.tranfer.


thanks......

Server.Transfer really doesn't make any sense for this because it doesn't do anything from the client perspective. It transfers execution of a page to another page and is invisible to the user.

Let's say that your main page is Default.aspx. Every time the client requests a page they will be hitting Default.aspx. If they want to go to another page (let's say you have a News.aspx page) they click on some link/button. This link/button MUST do a postback in order to execute some server-side to perform a Server.Transfer. So they click the button, you do Server.Transfer and execute the News.aspx page. Now the user is still seeing Default.aspx in the browser. So if there is a button that does something on the news page, the browser is still posting to Default.aspx. You need logic in Default.aspx that knows the user is now on *really* looking at the News.aspx page so you can Server.Transfer (again, and every single time) to the appropriate page.

As you can see the problem is that you are going to have to keep track of what page you really need to run and have all kinds of logic in the "main page" that handles the transferring to all the other pages.

Another problem is that every single link to other pages which could normally be satisfied with a standard hyperlink now has to be server postback. This creates lots of unnecessary round trips just to go to another page.

I think you would find building this a major pain and the difficulty far outweighs the desire to obfuscate the URL, particularly when there are far easier solutions.

I have been build web apps for a long time and I have never found a reason to use Server.Transfer in either classic ASP or ASP.NET.
