Server.Transfer instead of Response.Redirect

When transferring the user from one page to another in your web application use Server.Transfer() instead of Response.Redirect().  This saves a round-trip as ASP.NET transfers to and renders the new aspx page in the same request.

It is an option for reducing server resource usage and maintaining the request/form between pages but dependent on your requirements it might not be appropriate - eg you can't use Server.Transfer to send the user to an external site, and it maintains the original URL in the browser which can be confusing for users and make apps difficult to debug

Fair enough Mary. As I said its only for transfering between aspx pages within the same web application. And even then its not appropriate in all situations.
