Question

I’d like to do this :

1. Simple request to the server;
2. Put a variable that will be visible ONLY to the next request;
3. Make a redirect (Response.Redirect, without any querystring);
4. Well, the page that I’ll see is called by the previous “request” : now I’ll access to the variable stored at point (2). The variable now will be destroyed;
5. Any other request can’t find that variable, until I call the same page of point (1);

is there any mechanism to doing that? without having a querystring system… I know there are many scope in .NET…

Yes, it can be done.

1. Create the page (or controller action if using MVC) to receive the data. If you are using an HTTP GET request, the key-value pair will be on the query string. If you are using an HTTP POST, the key-value pair will be part of the post data (Forms).
2. Once you receive the key-value pair, store the data in some persistent location, such as the session or a database.
3. Redirect to a new page.
4. In the new page, retrieve the data from the persistent store and process it.
