Can I make OleDb data in one page available to another page

[Guest]

I'm fairly new to this ASPX/OLEDB stuff. I have an OleDbDataReader in one
..aspx page. I do a Server.Transfer to another page. Is it possible to make it
so that the data in the OleDbDataReader is available to the other page, so I
don't have to go back to the database?

Hi Dave,

When you use Server.Transfer to transfer from one Page to another, the first
Page remains as the HttpHandler in the Context. So, you can access any
public value in the first Page class via something like the following:

FirstPageClass firstpage;
if (!IsPostBack) // Via Server.Transfer
{
firstpage = (FirstPageClass)Context.Handler;
}

Thanks Kevin. That works fine. However, it sems to only work in the Page_Load
event. I'd like to be able to get at the information in other places, like in
a button click event, but it doesn't seem to work. Do you know the trick for
this, or am I being too ambitious?
