I noticed that in order to go from page to page the downloaded code always uses response.redirect except in one case. I am curious about two things:

1. Why use server.transfer for SwitchApplication.aspx and response.redirect in all other cases?

2. Is the use of server.transfer the reason that the URL line doesn't show SwitchApplication.aspx when switching applications?

Thanks

Hi there,

Yes, when you use Server.Transfer, the page is transferred at the server, so the address bar at the client is not updated.

Server.Transfer is used for exactly that reason: to keep the existing URL in the browser. However, Response.Redirect would have worked as well.....
