## Answers

### Answer by Shrikant Mishra

These methods like Response.Redirect and Server.Transfer methods both are used to transfer a user from one web page to another web page. Each(both) methods are used for the same purpose but still there are some differences as follows. Where the Response.Redirect method redirects a request to a new URL and specifies the new URL, while the Server.Transfer method for the current request, terminates execution of the current page and beginning the execution of a new page using the specified URL path of the page. \
These methods like Response.Redirect and Server.Transfer has the same syntax like:

```
Response.Redirect("UserDetail.aspx");
```

```
Server.Transfer("UserDetail.aspx");  
```
