redirect to current page in ASP.Net

Question

How can I perform a redirect with Server.Transfer() to the same page that is currently shown?

I want to have A cleared form after submit.

What other/better methods can I use to achieve the same?

Answer 1

Why Server.Transfer ? Response.Redirect(Request.RawUrl) would get you what you need.

Answer 2

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post/Redirect/Get

The most common way to implement this pattern in ASP.Net is to use Response.Redirect(Request.RawUrl)

Consider the differences between Redirect and Transfer . Transfer really isn't telling the browser to forward to a clear form , it's simply returning a cleared form. That may or may not be what you want.

Response.Redirect() does not a waste round trip. If you post to a script that clears the form by Server.Transfer() and reload you will be asked to repost by most browsers since the last action was a HTTP POST. This may cause your users to unintentionally repeat some action, eg. place a second order which will have to be voided later.
