How to pass parameters to the page if I use Server.Execute method

[Plato2]

I want to use Server.Execute method and I need to pass parameters to that page how can I do that?

Thanks in advance

The easiest way is using QueryString

Server.Execute("mypage.aspx?id=1");

In mypage.aspx Page_Load

string id = Request.QueryString["id"];

You can get output back from the executed page using a StringWriter. Here's ht eframework documentation for this

I'm not sure but with Server.Transfer the Form collection of the calling page is available within the page you transfer to using Request.Form. I would imagine this is the same for Server.Execute.

Is there is any other way to pass parameters? For server.execute

Thanks

Whats wrong with the querystring? Do you want to pass an object to the page rather than a value?

You could store them in the Session or the Cache and pull them back in the executed page I guess.

AFAIK there is no Server.Execute specific mechanism for passing parameters. Just the same as are available to the page if called directly by the browser ie. Request.QueryString and Request.Form.

what about context.items.add?

 

[crazyboybert]

Yeah you could put them in the context collection too.

What are you using the executed page for? If you don't mind me asking?

I'm trying to execute a page and then convert that page to StringWriter and email it....

Ok - that is probably one of the few valid uses of Server.Execute. I have seen people use it to encapsulate functionality (as we did in classic ASP) before which is kind of missing the point a bit I feel. As you don't need the parameters after the email has been sent the Context collection seems a good place to put them.
