Passing values from 1 page to another without using query string

[Andy B.]

I need to get values from a page and use them inside another. I don't
want to use the query string for this since it would be very long. How
would I do something like this? The page with the values to use would
have been the last one visited.

Hello Andy B.,

Look up "Session"

Use it like:
Session["AdminID"] = Request.ServerVariables["LOGON_USER"];

And then, later you can reference the login user by:

Session["AdminID"].ToString(

You could also use Context.Items but you can only use this with
Server.Transfer.

Page 1
Me.Context.Items.Add("TestValue", 10)
Me.Server.Transfer("Page2.aspx")

Page 2.
Dim TestValue As Integer = Me.Context.Items.item("TestValue")

Hi. I think I found a way to do it. I will define public properties on
the source page and then reference them on the target page. Seems to be
the easiest way to do what I need.

an alternative is to use cross page post back. There are issues with posting
back again to the calling page.

see: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/CrossPagePostbackCirRef.aspx

this is a simple way to do it but it's useful if you have a lot of values
