Question

On page1.aspx I have a button tied to a buttonOnClick event in my server side.
Clicking the button runs buttonOnClick method which generates an object (local to buttonOnclick method) with data I would like to use in the construction of a new page.

Basically, I want to open a new (different) page (page2.aspx) in a new tab, but as this page loads, I want it to render based on the contents of the object generated during buttonOnClick.

How one might go about this properly? Up until now I have been passing URL arguments to the new popup (page2.aspx) and I have it build the object, but I would rather do this properly and generate it buttonOnclick and then load page2.aspx in a popup based on what is the object built in the buttonOnclick method.

Answer 1

Store the object in your Session on the first page and then retrieve it on your second page.

On first page:

Session["myobject"] = myObject;

On second page:

MyObject object = (MyObject) Session["myobject"];
