Beginner question on Server.Transfer

[Tom]

Is there a way to reference the website root in a transfer?

For example, Server.Transfer("../folderb/test.aspx") works if the page being
redirected is in, say, foldera but not if it is in the root. I want to do
this in a generic way so if the application is moved to another server it
will still work.

Use a root-relative URL:

Server.Transfer("/folderb/test.aspx")

You probably want to to Server.Transfer( "~/folderb/test.aspx" )

The ~ means to go up to the root of the application.

Server Transfer can only transfer to pages in the current vdir (web
application), because it just creates an instance of the page, and calls its
methods.
