Use Server.Transfer instead of Response.Redirect
Written by Eric Smith, Northstar Computer Systems LLC
I do a lot of redirection in my web applications. A user logs into a page and an ASP file processes the input. When the user login is validated, the Response.Redirect sends the user to the next page. However, in IIS 5.0, the Server.Transfer method can be used with better results. Response.Redirect actually causes a roundtrip from the user’s browser to the server. It puts a code in the HTTP header that tells the browser to request the next page. Server.Transfer simply moves from one page to the next without a roundtrip. If you’re using the Redirect method of coding and you’re on IIS 5.0 (Windows 2000), start changing your code to make it more efficient using Server.Transfer. Your users will get a better experience with less roundtrips to your server.
