Im building an admin interface for a medical records management app.
My client has asked me for a way to easily select the patient the user wants to work with without having to select the patient everytime he wants to perform an action.
So, say for instance he wants to store a record for the patient’s current status (weight, size, etc) and then assign the same patient to a different doctor or change the company the patient currently works for.. he doesnt want to select the same patient all three times… he wants a select dropdown for patients and perform the different actions for that patient.
Im thinking this should be somehow stored in a session variable.. I have a table of patients and Im using LinqtoSql classes…. what do you reccommend?? help please.
Sounds like you want to put something into Session–perhaps some of the basic “recent patient” information, such as a patient ID, patient name, etc.
Definitely take a look at this post on how to do it in a very graceful way.
