2. Response.Redirect
3. Server.Transfer
4. Server.Execute
5. Cross-Page postback
6. Window.Open
In this video, We will discuss about Response.Redirect. Response.Redirect is similar to clicking on a hyperlink. The Hyperlink control does not expose any server side events. So when the user clicks on a hyperlink, there is no server side event to intercept the click.
So, if you want to intercept a click event in code, use the Button, LinkButton or the ImageButton server control. In the button click event, call Response.Redirect() method. When the user clicks the button, the web server receives, a request for redirection. The server then sends a response header to the client. The client then automatically issues a new GET request to the web server. The web server will then serve the new page. So, in short, Response.Redirect causes 2 request/response cycles.
Also, note that when Response.Redirect is used the URL in the address bar changes and the browser history is maintained.
Response.Redirect() can be used to navigate pages/websites on the same web server or on a different web server.
