Response.Redirect

Question

What is the difference between calling Response.Redirect from the codebehind of a page, versus calling HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect from a shared method on another class?

When I call HttpContext.Current.Response.Redirect it is giving me a 404 error sometimes, when calling Page.Respsone.Redirect doesn't.

EDIT:

Oops, my mistake, it was a typo.

Answer 1

There is no difference between the two methods (the getter for Page.Request simply returns a reference to HttpContext.Current.Request - you have to dig a bit in Reflector but it's there) - the HTTP404 you see as a result is the response from the server and is totally dependent on the value passed to the Redirect method.

Answer 2

I was under the impression they referred to the same thing. What does your code look like?

Answer 3

You'll only get the 404 error if your URL points to a non-existent page. These two methods are the same, it's your code that'll be the problem.
