Question

so I am a web developer who is used to PHP and MySQL and now my company is switching completely to VB.Net. I am using Visual Studio 2010 for development.

How would best would I accomplish displaying the text from one page sent using a GET method of a form on a different page?

What I would like to do is:

Page 1, have a list of buttons, and depending on which button I click a name is sent to the next page.

Page 2 receives the name and displays the name in a textbox or some other form field.

Also, any resources that might help me quickly learn the ins and outs of vb.net.

I am familiar with Visual basic and have coded in it before, but never in a .net environment.

Thanks!

Answer 1

on first page

<a href="OtherPage.aspx?Parameter=myParameter" >

then in the code behind for OtherPage.aspx in Page_Load

Dim query as String = Request.QueryString("Parameter")
myLabel.Text = query

in the XHTML in OtherPage.aspx you would see

<asp:Label ID="myLabel" runat="server" ></asp:Label>
