Hi Serge,

You can't pass query string values using Server.Transfer - just the
name of the ASPX page which must be in the same web application.

I think the use of "/" characters is making ASP.NET think you're
referring a relative file path.

But don't forget that you can preserve the values of variables between
pages via server.transfer by deriving your pages from the same base
class (rather than System.Web.UI.P age) and then casting
Context.Handler to your base class type in your second page:

BasePage basePage = (BasePage)Conte xt.Handler;

Here you can get the properties/varianles from your basePage

Here's a good article on the subject

server transfer work by creating an intance of the page requested, and
running the page cycle on it, the request is the same request as the page
calling transfer. you can not add more request variables to the request (its
readonly), so no url valiables can be added with server transfer.

Hi bruce.

I cross check some point . Your are talking about request page called on the
same page.
I have to tell you that the calendar control container is a page named
ReelHistory.asp x

Then when I click on a day of calandr control, I have calling that code:

Server.Transfer ("ReelDay.aspx? day=" & m_day.ToString)

to go to page ReelDay. So i am not in the same page request when doing that
????
