Hi,

I am very new to programming and wondered whether anyone could offer a 
solution to the following problem.

I am tring to design a website where on the first page you enter your name. 
Also on the first page is a button which when clicked I want to take the 
user through to the next page in my solution but also to take there name 
that they have entered into a tex box and place it at the top of every 
subsequent page that they access.

Can you help me to do this?

I look forward to your reply.

Daniel Ramsay

I suppose you can save the name in a session state bag and access it
later in your next page.
IE.  In the OnClick event for the first page
  Session("username") = Textbox1.text

in subsequent pages
  Label1.text = Session("username")

I suppose you could save the name in a cookie but I have yet to try 
cookies.

With forms authentication you can save the user's name to a cookie and
then pull it up in subsequent pages with User.Identity.Name

Depends on how far you want to go with security on your site though...

later in your next page.
IE.  In the OnClick event for the first page
  Session("username") =3D Textbox1.text

in subsequent pages
  Label1.text =3D Session("username")

I suppose you could save the name in a cookie but I have yet to try
cookies.
