What does the "EnableViewState" property do? Why would I want it on or off?
It allows page objects to save their state in a Base64 encoded string in the page
HTML. One should only have it enabled when needed because it adds to the
page size and can get fairly large for complex pages with many controls.
(It takes longer to download the page).

What is the difference between Server.Transfer and Response.Redirect? Why
would I choose one over the other?
Server.Transfer transfers excution directly to another page. Response.Redirect
sends a response to the client and directs the client (the browser) to load the
new page (it causes a roundtrip). If you don't need to execute code on the client,
Transfer is more efficient.
