Question

I give the option for a user to delete a special offer on the DeleteSpecialOffer page . If they click “Submit”, it will return them to the SpecialOffers page. I want to be able to display a message on the SpecialOffers page that confirms that the SO was successfully deleted.

Is there a way to create this textbox from the DeleteSpecialOffer page or possibly just make a hidden textbox visible?

Answer 1

Sure, here’s one option:

Have the textbox hidden (Visible=”False”) on the SpecialOffers page and when you redirect the user from the DeleteSpecialOffer page, pass a parameter in the URL as so:

Response.Redirect("SpecialOffers.aspx?Success=Y");

In SpecialOffers check whether this parameter is “Y” and make the textbox visible programmatically. Something like:

if(Request.QueryString["Success"]=="Y"))
{
   txtBox.Visible=true;
}
