im having confusion with which one is better or effect for request of calling page(first page) and caller page (new page) …
i notice that In both the cases, the URL in the browser remains the first page URL (doesn’t refresh to the new page URL) as the browser isn’t requested to do so.
any comments appreciable ….
Original at : Difference between Server.Transfer and Server.Execute
Both Server.Transfer and Server.Execute were introduced in Classic ASP 3.0 (and still work in ASP.NET).
When Server.Execute is used, a URL is passed to it as a parameter and the control moves to this new page. Execution of code happens on the new page. Once code execution gets over, the control returns to the initial page, just after where it was called. However, in the case of Server.Transfer, it works very much the same, the difference being the execution stops at the new page itself (means the control isn’t returned to the calling page).
In both the cases, the URL in the browser remains the first page URL (doesn’t refresh to the new page URL) as the browser isn’t requested to do so.
