I would recommend using session objects over query strings (hyper links); the extra overhead involved in passing session objects is marginal on modern day servers.

However; in the extreme case that you have a server with VERY limited resources and a website with an exponentially large number of hits, then you may want to consider using the query string.

Keep in mind that 4% of code typically accounts for 50% or more of the performance bottleneck.
In other words a very small portion of your code will be responsible for your program running slowly.
Instead of worrying about writing fast code, you may want to focus on completing your application, then find the bottlenecks and tune your code.

While I agree with Adam on this, what kind of data are you passing and do you have to redirect to another page? You may be able to avoid some pitfalls if you handle the data directly on Postback. My 2 cents anyway.

i need to pass ID collection to the next page where there are some 50000 ID's so which one can u suggest because i am already using session objects but the performance is not tooo good so tell me the best way i can do it

thanks in advance

That is in no way practical to pass a string around that is that size, your preformance will take a hit either way because, even if you pass this via a query string, when you actually go to populate a string with this value and then try to work with it, your server isn't going to just bog down your aspnet_wp.exe is going to recycle itself because .NET sets aside 10 bytes of memory + 2 * string length not so much a problem until you try to work with that string and it starts replicating itself in memory.

What exactly are you doing? I can not think of a time where I ever needed to pass that much data around.

Another thing to consider: the length of a query string is limited and varies between browsers.
