Can I Server.Transfer from .aspx to .asp page?

[simon]

Hi

Right now, when i call :

Server.Transfer( "default.asp" );

I get

System.Web.HttpException: Error executing child request for /SessionBridgeTest/Default.asp.

Is it possible at all to do so, or am I just doing something wrong?

did you try a response.redirect...
there is a difference between the two, which is fairly important, and sadly
i cant recall exactly how that goes. but it has to do with transfering data
(server.TRANSFER) so i would assume its trying to hand off the session state
to the asp page which cant handle it. a response.redirect just dumps the
data and goes to the new page which i think is your only option.

Thats true justin
ASPX and ASP can't share sessions.

Server.Transfer operates within the asp.net system, so it can't transfer to
an "old" asp file.

Response.Redirect sends a message back to the browser to "go elsewhere".
The "elsewhere" can be anything (even on another server), it's a completely new request.

No, they are different applications so that won't work.
You might try Response.Redirect instead.
