It buffers the server response so the full asp file is processed before anything is sent to the server. In some situaltions where an asp script may run for a perlonged time it is worth turrning this off so you can display a message to the user while the script is being processed. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

It also makes it so if you do a response.redirect the redirect page url changes to the new page url in the address bar. ------------- http://www.iportalx.net" rel="nofollow">

You can do a redirect whether the response buffer is on or not, you just need to do the redirect before any HTML is written as the redierct command is sent in the header and is seen by the web browser as the same as a 303 object moved. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

Yes i know that. Im just saying, if you redirect and dont have the Response.Buffer = True then the new page url doesnt change. Its still the old page. ------------- http://www.iportalx.net" rel="nofollow">
