Hi,

Can some body tel me how to handle state management with ASP.

I have a form , where users enter Customer name and other details and 
submits

Now what i need is ,to check if the Customer name already exixt in the 
data base?
If it exist then redirect him to the form with Msg like Customer already 
exist, with all other values in other text boxes.

help me please.

Where are you storing the customer information?
You should have a database. Query the database before you insert.

Or .. just have a storedProcedure in MSSQL that checks and returns 1 or 0
( spDoesUserExist )

You can just use :

<input type="text" name="custname" size="10" value="Request.Form("custname")">

or you can sue the VIEWSTATE option in ASP.Net
