ASP Transfer Attribute

Server Object Reference Manual

Definition and Usage

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

When the second ASP completes any action, it does not return to the first ASP page.

Note:The Transfer method is an efficient alternative to Response.Redirect. Redirection forces the Web server to handle an additional request, while Server.Transfer transfers execution to another ASP page on the server, avoiding additional complications.

Syntax

Server.Transfer(path)
Parameter Description
Path Required. The location of the ASP file. Transfer control to this ASP file.

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
