Solution needing ViewState?

[Random]

I would like to do a Server.Transfer from a page where I have a peice of
information saved in ViewState. I have a second peice of information that
is in the Forms collection from a form submit. I perform the
Server.Transfer with the option to keep the forms collection available on
the next page.

I get to the new page, however, and the ViewState is empty and the submitted
value is gone. I really don't want to put my information in the QueryString
or do a Response.Redirect. What am I doing wrong?

Here's a reasonably simple solution.
(VB.NET code)

'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)

Alternately, here's a technique for referencing the previous page more
directly:
