Passing a web form as an object to another FORM?

[nomi2000]

Hi guys
I have a form say call WEBFORM1.aspx it has different texboxes and other controls in it,on a press of a button say (VALIDATE) i want to open another web-form say WEBFORM2.aspx which could see all the control in WEBFORM1 ?
Is it possible using ASP .Net?
I have done fairly easy in VB .Net but not sure how to do in ASP

Well, you could create a Web User Control, that consisted of just the actual text boxes and other input controls layed out how you would like them.

Use it on each page. This is useful for re-using a form for a couple of things, such as an "Account Editor" which is used to create new accounts as well as for users to edit their existing information. You want this done on separate pages, but not have to create the whole form over again.

Not use how it applies to Validation though - maybe there is another way to do what you want.

Yes, you can do this. You would pass the instance variable of the first form to the second form. Remember, in .NET, forms are objects.

You can use Server.Transfer("WEBFORM2.aspx", true). This way you'll be transfered to page2 while having all controls and their values from page1 available through Request.Form:

//in WEBFORM1.aspx:
<asp:TextBox Runat=server ID="myText" />
<br>
<asp:DropDownList ID="myList" Runat=server>
  <asp:ListItem Value="one">One</asp:ListItem>
  <asp:ListItem Value="2">Two</asp:ListItem>
  <asp:ListItem Value="3">Three</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
<br>
<asp:Button ID="btnValidate" Runat=server Text="Do Transfer" />
..........................
private void btnValidate_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
  Server.Transfer("WEBFORM2.aspx", true);
}

//in WEBFORM2.aspx
// write out values from controls on WEBFORM1.aspx:
Response.Write("Text Box: " + Request.Form["myText"] + "<br>");
Response.Write("Drop Down: " + Request.Form["myList"]);

There is a known bug when using Server.Transfer, here is a link to an MSDN article:
