Need to hold a global variable for multiple pages

[bubberz]

We are using several sub forms within an aspx multitab page. The problem is that those sub forms on each of the tab pages can't read the Request.QueryString() value.
What we need to do is have a global variable available for all tab pages to use, and obviously the Request.QueryString route isn't working.
Any suggestions are welcome!

Thanks!

Use session variables.

Session("blah") = whatever 'variable you want to store


On the pages that don't take request.querystring...

Dim string1 as string

string1 = Session("blah")

Thanks hensled!
I heard the session variables are pretty "overhead" intense. I was going to use custom page properties and then redirect from the original page to the target page. What do you think? Any suggestions are welcomed! Thanks!

This should work.

Dim Context As System.Web.HttpContext = System.Web.HttpContext.Current

Dim _MyVar As String = Context.Request.QueryString("MyVar")
