When Should I Use Response.Redirect(url, true)?

Question

I\'m redirecting to an Error page with a prettified error message in my Application_Error, in Global.asax.

At the moment it says:

Respon

You never need to use true, as there is an overload without the boolean parameter.

Response.Redirect("Error.aspx", false);

or

Response.Redirect("Error.aspx");

The boolean parameter was added so that you could set the redirect without stopping the execution. If you can exit out of the page code yourself without that causing any extra cost, like for example data binding occuring, that is preferable.
