Server.Transfer is simply a server-side Response.Redirect.

If you are familiar with mod_rewrite, it's somewhat on the same lines as that.

Basically, the user sends a request for A.aspx which does its thing
and then issues a Server.Transfer to B.aspx. Everything in the Request
object is then available to B.aspx as if the original request was for
B.aspx. There is no second request and no communication to the client,
as there would be with a Response.Redirect.

You could store it in a session variable if it's a temporary thing.
Or, probably better, in a database (flat file or otherwise, depending
on what you're doing).
