First Difference - Round Trip

> When Server.Transfer is used, the redirection is done by the Server itself.
> Hence there is not having any round trip when Server.Transfer is used.



> When Response.Redirect is used, the redirection is done by the client Browser.
> Hence there is having round trip when Response.Redirect is used.

Second Difference - Destination Server

> Server.Transfer can only be used to navigate to a page which resides inside the same server.
> Response.Redirect is used to navigate to a page which resides both inside and outside the server.
> For example, suppose our server has two pages. Test1.aspx and Test2.aspx
> From any of two, we can go to other page by using both Response.Redirect & Server.Transfer.
> But we can go to a page outside the server like http://www.google.com only by using
> Response.Redirect.
> Means if you wants to redirect to different domain or server, Response.Redirect should be used.

Third Difference - URL Change

> Suppose we are navigating from Test1.aspx to Test2.aspx.
> If Server.Transfer is used, then after navigation, the URL will not change.
> That means after navigation, when Test2.aspx is fully loaded, the URL will be Test1.aspx
> But if Response.Redirect is used, the URL changes to the destination page.
> That means after navigation, when Test2.aspx is fully loaded, the URL will be Test2.aspx.
