  Whidbey: Passing data between Pages

  Apr 06, 2005 10:14 AM|LINK

  Hi,
  
  One of the hinderances we had in earlier verions of ASP.NET (1.1 & 1.0 versions) were that, to pass data between pages, we need to use QueryString, Server.Transfer, Sessions etc.,. This was a little surprising for people who come from ASP background who are used to <form method="post" action="newpage.asp">
  

  Please check http://harishmvp.blogspot.com/2005/04/whidbey-passing-data-between-pages.html on how Whidbey addressed this effectively.

  Thanks.

  Link Updated

  I tried this, the page did indeed post to a new page but nothing happened on the new page. Here is the code from the new page:
   <script runat="server">

          void Page_Load(Object Sender, EventArgs e) {

              if (Request.Form["Name"] != null){
                  Response.Write(Server.HtmlEncode("Hello " + Request.Form["Name"]));
              }
          }
    
      </script>

   There doesn't seem to be Request.Form["Name"] value, though that Text field is being sent.

  Here is the posting page:

  <form method="POST" id="Form1" action="test2.aspx" runat="server" >

  Name: &nbsp;<asp:TextBox ID="Name" MaxLength="400" Width="210px" runat="server"/><br />

  <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Submit" OnClick="SubmitBtn_Click" PostBackUrl="subscribe_action.aspx" />

  </form>

   Where am I going wrong?

  Thanks, Michael

  Hi,

  In  your Form tag, you have defined as action="test2.aspx" and in your button definition, you have specified the PostBackUrl="subscribe_action.aspx"

  Which is the new page?  I tried copying the same code and changed only the action tag and postbackurl to be of the same page and I could be able to access the Request.Form value.

  Write back if this doesnt help.

  Thanks.
