Hello All,
In one of my project i was using a generalized popup.aspx page. In that i used to pass the select query and some other formatting argument to the page and in the page load of the popup.aspx i fire the query. All was working fine. I used showdialog() function of the javascript to call the popup.aspx.
I know we should not write sql query on aspx page.
Now we are in process of making a multiproject ERP intranet site.
and i have assigned the work to make a generalized popup page that all the project's page will use. I have two option
1. either i can pass the result set in session to the popup page and display result there. That i think is not the proper way.
2. Somehow i will pass the function written in some class that should fire when popup page is called. But i dont know how can i pass the class name and function name in querystring bcoz popup will treat it as string not the object.
Plz help me to come out this problem.

While your 2nd options isn't necessarily safe (you could change the query string and force things to run that you don't want run), here's a way to do it:

You can use reflection to load an instance of the class specified and then invoke the method specified. Of course, you'll run into a problem if you need to have the class already instantiated and in some certain state before you make the necessary call. For this you'll probably need to use the first option of session. I don't see using the session as "not the proper way". This kind of thing is what session is intended for. Just be careful how you use it and be sure to clean up after the use of the data otherwise you might end up chewing up lots of memory quickly.

I think the first option is best. Load the data into session then use it from there in the popup. This would be more secure and generally simpler to write.
