Hello

Please help me in my problem. I have two .aspx page. My requirements is really straightforward but since im new into asp.net its really hard for me.
Okay, my first.aspx compose of two dropdownlist and 1 button.

The first dropdownlist is for the employee name, and the second dropdownlist is for the department. And a button submit. The page is enable for ViewState. And i know that all the values selected from my dropdownlist are save into hidden __VIEWSTATE. When i click the button, what i want is to display the selected values from my dropdownlist to my second.aspx page. And i want to use the __VIEWSTATE to retrieve the values..

Please how help me how can i do this. How can i decode the content of my __VIESTATE?

Thanks.

hi,

   Why don't u try to do it with sessions or cookies...your requirement is so simple...

    I am not sure whether we can decode <viewstate> from another page..any way if you go for sessions it will be secure and will fullfil your requirement...

    may i know why do u want to use only view state...?

   I suggest you to use sessions insted of response.redirect...sessions are quite good when security matters..

   Hope this helps-Ashok Parchuri
