I've always felt that one of the inherent design problems with a traditional ASP.NET web page is that it forces forms to be submitted via POST rather than easily allowing submission via GET. Outside of ASP.NET, there are cases where neither a Response.Redirect() nor a Server.Transfer() would be recommended. For example, it's not uncommon to build a search page, which displays search criteria in the address bar. Unfortunately, the only way I know of to replicate the functionality of a GET is to manually build query string parameters and then append them to the end of the page that I'd like to Response.Redirect() to. The extra overhead is unnecessary as browsers and web servers already have this functionality built in.
