Is there any difference in below scenarios:

I'm redirecting to the same page.

1) When you're in a .aspx page, and you pass only the name of the same page as a parameter Eg: Response.Redirect(abc.aspx).

2) When you're in a .aspx page, and you pass the Whole URL as a parameter
Eg: Response.Redirect(~/folder1/folder2/abc.aspx).

Thanks in advance

No, there is no difference. They point to the same url.

5ed. I would add that relative path names are relative to the current page.

Good point. I almost did but since the OP was specifically, and boldly, stating that it was the same page, I didn't see the need.

Sure...

I'm asking this because I faced an issue recently. I have a user control which I use in every aspx page i.e. set values to user control and show the components of the user control respectively. When I was passing only the name of the page, the values were not set and when I passed the whole URL, the values were set.
Although my issue was resolved, I was really confused!!

If you have code in a user control then for sure use ~ since you don't know where that user control will end up. For best practice, always use ~.
