LinkButton/querystring question

[Garreth21]

Hi everybody,

I have a datagrid that displays products. The product name is a link button. When the link is clicked it opens up a new window to display product details.

Right now I append the details to the page link and then use query string on the pop up page to get the information. It works, but I'd perfer to use something other then query string to pass the data. It's more of a personal preference thing to not use query string method. What options do I have?

You can pass an ID of the product, and on the popup, query the db for that ID and display.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the reply. I had thought of that, but thought it might be better to get the info in one db query rather then two, but that might be the best way to solve my problem. Would you pass the ID in a query string?

 

[jbenson001]

Yes you can pass the ID in the query string. You can also pass the values using session variables if you don't have too many. This way you only have one DB query.

Alternatively, you could use the cache
