  data store for moving from page to page

  Dec 18, 2016 04:13 AM|geomeo123|LINK

  Hello,

  I'm trying to build a website.  And I'm wondering what the best way to hold the users information would be prior to them going to the register page.  So for example:

  Front page

  What kind of house do you live in? ...Textbox1

  How many rooms does it have?....Textbox2

  Submit button<click>

  Next Page

  progress bar searching for records..

  Next page

  Your house & rooms were not found, however we encourage you to <hyperlink>register<hyperlink> click

  Register Page

  asp createuserwizard etc etc....

  Soooooo....Do I use the users IP address or what unique way is there to hold their start information from the textboxes they have already entered so that I can add them to a new database table that I make in the database?  Or do I put all of their information as a temp table?  Or does it have something to do with cookies? 

  Thanks

  George

  If you want to move data from one page to another , then There are mutliple ways you can acheive this functionality

  1) Using Form

  When the source page uses the HTTP POST action to navigate to the target page, you can retrieve posted values from the Form collection in the target page. 

  This basically involves two steps

  1. In the source page, include a form element that contains HTML elements (such as input or textarea) or ASP.NET server controls (such as TextBox orDropDownList controls) that post values when the form is submitted.

  2. In the target page, read the Form collection, which returns a dictionary of name/value pairs, one pair for each posted value.

  Please try with the below implementaion

  Your PageA.aspx

  <form id="form2" runat="server">
       <asp:TextBox ID="EmployeeName" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
       <!-- Add Your Other controls here -->
       <asp:Button ID="btnSubmit" runat="server" Text="Submit" PostBackUrl="YourPageB.aspx" />
  </form>

  You can access the posted values using Request.Form in your PageB.Aspx

  Your PageB.Aspx

   //Grab the value passed from YourPageA.aspx
              String Passedvalue = Request.Form["EmployeeName"];

  2) Using Session

  An Easy solution is to use session and it will be like this

  Your PageA.aspx

  //Set the value of Textbox to session
              Session["Data"] = Textbox1.Text;
              //Perform your Redirect
              Response.Redirect("YourPageB.aspx");

  YourPageB.aspx(Receiver Page)

  You can read values from session like given below

              if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(Session["Data"].ToString()))
              {
  
                  //Read values from session
                  string valueA = Session["Data"].ToString();
  
              }

  3) Another suggestion is to use QueryString

  Please see the sample implemenation

  Your PageA.aspx

  You can pass value to pageB like given below

   protected void btnRedirect_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
          {
              //Pass the value from Textbox as Query string
              Response.Redirect("YourPageB.aspx?PassingValue=" + Server.UrlEncode(Textbox1.Text));
          }

  YourPageB.aspx(Receiver Page)
  You can read the value passed through query string like given below

    //Read the values from Query string
              string value = Request.QueryString["PassingValue"].ToString();
