Hi Ravi Shekhar Vishwakarma  Key points about data submitted by using HttpGet GET - Requests data from a specified resource An hyperlink or anchor tag that points to an action will ALWAYS be an HttpGet. Data is submitted as a part of url. Data is visible to the user as it posts as query string. It is not secure but fast and quick. It use Stack method for passing form variable. Data is limited to max length of query string. It is good when you want user to bookmark page. Key points about data submitted using HttpPost POST - Submits data to be processed to a specified resource A Submit button will always initiate an HttpPost request. Data is submitted in http request body. Data is not visible in the url. It is more secured but slower as compared to GET. It use heap method for passing form variable It can post unlimited form variables. It is advisable for sending critical data which should not visible to users.

Hi Ravi The Get/Post methods are used to send client information to web server. The methods are specified in inside form element using method attribute. Syntax: The method attribute uses either get or post. Default is GET method. GET method: This method appends form data to page request URL with key value pairs called as query string. E.g.: http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/home.htm?key1=value1&key2=value2 \ Page request URL and the form data information (query string) are separated by the ? Character. Get method is restricted to send up to 1024 characters only. Never use Get method to send sensitive information like password login information to web server. Form data support only ASCII characters.Cannot used to send binary information like word document text file and image data to server. We can access query string in ASP.NET using Request.QueryString[key1] Post Method: POST method transfers information over HTTP headers. Data transfer through HTTP headers so using secure HTTP protocol we can make sure that data is secured. No restriction on sending data size via Post and also we can send binary data or ASCII information using POST method. We can access form data in ASP.NET using Request.Form[key1] Reference : http://dotnetmirror.com/Articles/aspnet/1/get-and-post-methods-in-asp.net-html-and-difference-between-get-and-post-get-vs-post For more info check these link : http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_httpmethods.asp http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/37539/Redirect-and-POST-in-ASP-NET
