Display Information from one page to another

[ajap99]

If I have a text value on one page
How can I display this text value on the next page that I go to

 

[ca8msm]

Pass it through as:

1) An entry in Request.Querystring
2) An entry in Request.Form
3) A Session Variable

Depending on security issues, I would use 1 or 3.

If I use 1) Request.Querystring

What code needs to go on each page

 

[ca8msm]

You just pass it through with a question mark e.g.
On click of a button:

Response.Redirect("Page2.aspx?ID=" & Textbox1.Text)

and on Page2 access it via:

Dim strID as String = Request.Querystring("ID")

I would suggest reading up on the various options you have as these are the very basics of ASP.NET and it will mean more to you if you learn why and how they are used as opposed to one of us just telling you how to do it.

(I know I have to read up on the basics)

here's a super down and dirty way to do it...

on page1.aspx:

<a href=page2.aspx?page=1>page two</a>

then on page2.aspx:

dim pagenum as string
pagenum = request.querystring("page")
response.write(pagenum)

this should display the number 1.
