Question

I am creating a callback page that receives info from a payment gateway and then updates a database. I then want it to ‘submit’ itself automatically to a ‘thank you’ page, passing the order number as a hidden field.

I have looked at httpwebrequest, but I can’t see with this solution how it will ‘post itself’ if that’s the right way to put it.

Any help on ho to achieve this would be greatly appreciated.

So, why not using that receive page to also show what you need and save the trouble to have one more page?

If you still want to have a 2nd page just to show the result, at the end of the processing you can write:

Session["job-id"] = "12345679";
Response.Redirect("my2ndpage.aspx");

in that 2nd Page, you simply assign the session text to the control you will have

HiddenField1.Value = Session["job-id"].ToString();
