Is there a method similar to Response.Redirect that will send variables to the destination page other than using a query string or the post method
Server.Transfer preserves the current page context, so that in the target page you can extract values and such. However, it can have side effects; because Server.Transfer doesnt’ go through the browser, the browser doesn’t update its history and if the user clicks Back, they go to the page previous to the source page. Another way to pass values is to use something like a LinkButton. It posts back to the source page, where you can get the values you need, put them in Session, and then use Response.Redirect to transfer to the target page. (This does bounce off the browser.) In the target page you can read the Session values as required. Refer to Passing Values Between Web Forms Pages for more information.

Why does the DataGrid web server control contents wrap when ItemStyle Wrap or HeaderStyle Wrap Property is set to False
The wrap functionality occurs for each cell and not for each row of the DataGrid. Therefore, if you disabled the wrap functionality for all of the DataGrid, text wrapping functionality is not disabled for every row or column. To resolve this make sure that every column of the DataGrid has the ItemStyle Wrap property explicitly set to False as follows: <ItemStyle Wrap=’False’></ItemStyle> For more details refer Microsoft Knowledge Base Article – 323169 Microsoft Knowledge Base Article – 324165
Why do I get the error message ‘The SendUsing configuration value is invalid’
This problem occurs because read access to the Internet Information Services (IIS) metabase and the Microsoft Active Directory directory service has been removed for the Everyone group. This access has been removed because of a security modification in Exchange 2000 Server SP3. CDOEX, CDOSYS, and System.Web.Mail must have access to the IIS metabase to access information about the location of the pickup directory path. This behavior occurs when you use the Sendusingpickup method and if this information is not specified in the application code. Because access is restricted, the non-administrative user under whose security context the application is running cannot read this information from the IIS metabase and Active Directory. For more information refer Read Access to the Everyone Group Is Removed After You Install Exchange 2000 SP3
How can I test performance of the Web application
