Posting values between pages

[Water Cooler v2]

That ASP.NET pages post to themselves, how do pages share information
amoung themselves? As in, if my index.aspx has to post data to
nextpage.aspx, how does it happen? Is it left to the developer to
persist relevant control values in a state dictionary such as Session
and read them back in the target/destination page nextpage.aspx?

That a page should post to itself was an ASP.NET 1.x paradigm.

In ASP.NET 2.0 you can post to other pages.

How do we do it while we are using v1.1?

 

[S. Justin Gengo]

The easiest way that I know of is to use a combination of storing your
value/object in the context object and utilizing Server.Transfer.

On the page being transferred from:

Dim MyValue As String = "This is my value to transfer (It could be any
object).
Context.Items.Add("MyKey", MyValue)

Server.Transfer("page2.aspx")

On page two:

Dim MyValue AS String = CType(Context.Items.Item("MyKey"), String)

(Of course Context.Items.Item("MyKey").toString would work better here, but
I used CType to illustrate that you could place any type of object into the
context object.
