ASP Transfer Method


Server Object Reference Complete Server Object Reference

The Transfer method sends (transfers) all the state information (all application/session variables and all items in the request collections) created in one ASP file to a second ASP file.

When the second ASP page completes its tasks, it will NOT return to the first ASP page (like the Execute method).

Note: The Transfer method is an efficient alternate for the Response.Redirect. A redirect forces the Web server to handle an extra request while the Server.Transfer method transfers execution to a different ASP page on the server, and avoids the extra round trip.

Syntax

Server.Transfer(path)

Parameter Description
path Required. The location of the ASP file to which control should be transferred

Example

File1.asp:

<%
response.write("Line 1 in File 1<br>")
Server.Transfer("file2.asp")
response.write("Line 2 in File 1<br>")
%>

File2.asp:

<%
response.write("Line 1 in File 2<br>")
response.write("Line 2 in File 2<br>")
%>

Output:

Line 1 in File 1
Line 1 in File 2
Line 2 in File 2

Also look at the Server.Execute method to see the difference between the Server.Transfer and Server.Execute methods.
