Well... 
I removed the response.redirect and then did as below :

//my code 
public int CurGroupID
		{
			get
			{
				if(IsLoggedIn)
				{
					EnsureChildControls();
					if(ViewState["CurGroupID"] != null)
					{
						return Convert.ToInt32
(ViewState["CurGroupID"]);
					}
					else
					{
						return -1;
					}
				}
				else
				{
					return -1;
				}
			}
			set
			{
				EnsureChildControls();
				ViewState["CurGroupID"] = value;
			}

and now it works... I always have the value of the ID as well and can pass 
that through the from.
