How to use Response.Redirc t like a browser back button?

What is the difference between the two?

I have a page "one" with a button using Response.Redire ct("pagetwo.asx p") to
go to the next page.

On page two I have a button using Response.Redire ct("pageone.asp x") to go
back to page one.

When I view page one, select some information, then go to page two, and then
select the back button (using the response.redire ct) none of my selections
remain. If I just use the back button of the web browser everything works
fine.

Anything I am doing wrong?

Thanks.

Kevin is right.
To get it to work like the back button, Instead of using Response.Redire ct
to go back to page one you could execute some client side javascript like
this:
history.go(-1);

So you could have a "Back" anchor tag in your HTML that looks like this:
<a href='javascrip t:history.go(-1);'>Back</a>

Here's more info:

One caution about using JavaScript history, though: With ASP.Net it can have
unexpected results, as ASP.Net WebForms submit to themselves, and have
different ViewState data in them at different times.

The standard method to transmit a file from an aspx page to a browser is to stream the file to the response then end the response. The HTML code generated by the aspx page is discarded, and the browser displays or offers to save the binary file instead. I would like to have the browser accept and display the revised HTML code as well as offering to open or save the attached file. This SHOULD be possible using a multipart MIME format -...
