I have two pages in ASP.NET 3.5 and I need to access/read the web controls values from the first page but on the second page. The second page is being displayed with a single link, there is not a post event or something like that.
I guess I should use ViewState but it looks so complicated for this task so please let me know a better way to achieve this.
P.S I’m using C# and Visual Studio 2010
Quick & “Dirty”: A session variable which holds the info to pass.
On the first page:
On the second page:
Elegant: You need to manage your state in any way (via a static manager whose function is to store and retrieve that info, but that will be also variables). Problem is HTTP is stateless. So you need to bypass this limitation via some kind of storing and retrieving of the data.
You suggested the use of ViewState but forget it, ViewState is the technique used by an ASP.NET Web page to persist changes to the state of a Web Form across postbacks which isn’t what’s happening on your scenario.
