querystrings

[Guest]

I'm converting an .NET 03 app to .NET 05 and the current version passes data
via a querystring, in 05 is there a better way to pass data from page to page
without using querystrings other then a session variable?

You could store it in the viewstate..

Sorry, viewstate will only persist for post-backs to the same page.

Does your application really need to post from page to page?

If so, I'd put the data in hidden fields and POST it from page to page.

If you navigate from one page to another using the Server.Transfer method
then you can reference the PreviousPage property of the current page to
access controls and values from the previous page. You can also configure
certain controls to perform cross-page posting.

I looked at the site and tried the example but nothing shows up. I get no
error message but my control is empty and theres a selection made in the drop
down.
Do i have to do anything on the page the user is transfering from?

Are your pages using a master page?

If so, take a look at this site for a technique used to work with content
pages.
