Dear all,

Im beginner to asp.net I have created a project with two web pages. the first page (page1.aspx) contains one dropdown, one textfield and one button. (all the three are web controls). i just want to retrieve and display the contents from page1.aspx in second page (page2.aspx) while clicking the button from page1.aspx.

im using c# as the code behind file.

im facing lot of troubles such as,

(i) if i keep the button as web control, the page is not redirecting , even though i have written the response.redirect code on the buttonclick event at the .cs file.

(ii) if i keep the button as html control and in form tag if i mention action="page2.aspx" , im able to navigate to second page but i cant retrieve the textfield/dropdown values.

kindly help me to sort out this problem in either way.

thanks in advance.


Yours,
Saran

Can you post the relevant parts of the code for the button click? (The handler method and the event wiring.)
Can you verify that the button click is firing? (You could try a response.write) Is it possible that you haven't got the handler wired to the button event properly?

The ASP style of form posting using a different action value for the target page is not how ASP.NET is intended to work. If you need to carry information from one page to another you need to use a suitable method such as query string values or session state.

You can also try Server.Transfer("page2.aspx", true) to preserve the form elemnts in the next page. From there you can access the properties of the calling page.

HI! I am having a similar problem. but in my case i have to transfer data from second page to the first page. I have two pages. the first calls the second. User enters some details in the second page and these details are to be passed to the first page.
Please help me on this one.

hi you can use the Context.Handler

for transfering the values from one page to another page.
just create an object for that form and get aceess the Control values of the other form.
ex:
Form1 ff= (Form1) Context.Handler ;

i think it might be helpfull for you
