+Summary: Server.Transfer does not work.
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what you
+are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+
+Server.Transfer does not work. If I pass a string value to it ie;
+Server.Transfer("somepage.aspx") it returns the following error "Cannot
+cast from source type to destination type."
+
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Create a page called testpage.aspx, with a linkButton on it.
+2. in the code behind  - in the LinkButtons Click event handler add the
+following code Server.Transfer("destinationpage.aspx");
+3. Create a second page named destinationpage.aspx
+4. Compile and run, loading testpage.aspx.
+5. Click on the link on testpage.aspx
+
+Actual Results:
+
+a .NET error message the gist of which is "Cannot cast from source type to
+destination type."
+
+
+Expected Results:
+
+destinationpage.aspx will load
+
+
+How often does this happen? 
+
+everytime I attempt to use Server.Transfer.
+
+
+Additional Information:
+
+The only work around appears to be to use
+Response.Redirect("destinationpage.aspx");
