saving viewstate of a page while redirecting to ....

[arash2005]

Hi everybody,
I have a problem in preserving the state of a page (ASP.NET)while redirecting to a second page and returning to the first page.Does anybody know what the best practice is?
Thanks in advance.

why do u have a page inbetween? in .NET the processing meant for a page must be done by the page itself. redirection must be done only when all the processess are done...

well,suppose you need to go to a second page where you can add records to a table, or find a record(you haven't got the search facilities in the first page) and take it that that you have filled a part of page controls and then you find out that the value you are looking for is not present in the dropdownlist,,,so you are sent to another page so that you can add your favorite value to the table(and automatically the value will be added to the dropdownlist back in the first page).How would you implement it?

>>then you find out that the value you are looking for is not present in the dropdownlis

i would suggest a popup(a special icon by the dropdown list). if u really want to preserve the values then the only way would be using sessions (an ASPX file CANNOT submit to another aspx file).

You may also be able to make use of Server.Transfer as this preserves form and querysting variables between pages.
