Hello - I'm looking for some examples of implementing a Master-Detail page as separate pages, and passing the linking field value through a Session variable, instead of the QueryString (in this case, I'm using the social security number, and can't have that sticking out there in the address bar)

Thanks

Mark

What are you using a gridview? When you click the row, grab the value you need. Set a session variable. Redirect to your page, grab the session variable and use it as a parameter in your sql statment. Execute it and display the results.

I've tried that. The master page has a GridView, with DataKeyNames = SSN, and in the GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged sub, I've got:

   Session("SSN") = GridView1.SelectedDataKey
   Response.Redirect("..\Res_Client\DetailPage.aspx")

And then on the Detail page, I've got an AccessDataSource with a WHERE clause of Source = Session and Session field = SSN

But when run the Master page and click on a "Select" for a row, I get an error message about "Object must implement IConvertible"

Somebody told me to use Ctype(), but didn't elaborate on where/how to put it. I tried it in the Master page code:

   Session("SSN") = CType(GridView1.SelectedDataKey, DataKey)

, but it was no help. (The data is in an Access mdb, and SSN is a text field)

Thanks for your help

Ok, I got an answer - I didn't realize SelectedDataKey was an object variable; here's what works:

      Session("SSN") = GridView1.SelectedDataKey.Value
