Thread: Passing variables to another form

Im working in ASP.net with C#, and I want to pass hidden form variables from one page when I click a link, to another page. My problem is I dont know how to do that. I was thinking about using Reqest.Form or something, but I cant figure out how that would work.

Why not put them in the session or cache?

Anyways the proper way to do this is to create a reference.

In the old page add

Code:

<%@Page ClassName="SenderPage" %>

in the script add something like this (property)

Code:

public string SomeVar{
                   get{return TextBox1.Text;}
}

now in recipient form

Code:

<%@Reference Page="SenderPage.aspx" %>

Code:

SenderPage sp;

void page_load(object sender, EventArgs e){
                 sp = (SenderPage) Context.Handler;
}

This should do the job. But you can always use session variables.

This always worked for me. You can pass objects to other forms this way, too. This example uses a simple string.

Form 1:

Code:

MyForm mf = new MyForm(ref name);
mf.Show();
this.Hide();

Form 2:

Code:

// in constructor
public MyForm(ref string name) {
   this.name = name;
}

Edit: Oops, I didn't read the extra details in the original post.

This seems to be for Windows forms. ASP.net are webforms and i dont know if they support such a thing.
