Passing values between pages

[John]

Hi

I need to move from page1 to page2 but I also need to pass a string value
between the two. Is there a way to achieve this?

Thanks

Regards

This was asked and answered here the other day. Here's a part of the response
from Steve Orr:

Here's one nice, simple way to pass values from one page to another:

'Add data to the context object before transferring
Context.Items("myParameter") = x
Server.Transfer("WebForm2.aspx")

Then, in WebForm2.aspx:

'Grab data from the context property
Dim x as Integer = CType(Context.Items("myParameter"),Integer)

You can use a Session variable.

Umm .. be careful when you use Session variables though - sticking
everything under the sun into session variables is not the most desirable
thing to do; from a scaleability point of view.
