Passing values between asp.net pages

I am developing a web application. At the login page a user(taxpayer) keys in his username which is actually a tax identification number. I have a database of all registered taxpayers. Once the user logs in, I want his tax identification number to be displayed on subsequent pages that he will visit(usually in asp textboxes where he is to provide such identification number again). I also want his name and other relevant information to be automatically loaded into any required text fields on each page where necessary.

Re: Passing values between asp.net pages

Hi,

you simply put that piece of information in the database and retrieve it when needed on subsequent pages. Or, if you want to keep it in memory for easy access you can also make use of Session state. However note that you best not put too much information in Session state though so use it with care.

Grz, Kris.

Re: Passing values between asp.net pages

In your case I prefer to use Session. on session end event all information of user will be destroied automatically.

Re: Passing values between asp.net pages

You can use Session to pass a value from one to another page, in your case create session and store all required values while the login like

Session["taxPayer"] = "Tax Payer Name";

And you can get the tax payer name from your needed page, like

string taxPayerName= Session["taxPayer"];

Finally close your seesion,

Session["taxPayer"] = null;

(OR)

Session.Abandon(); //Close all sessions
