Passing drop down text/value to another page.

[veronic]

I have a grid with populated summary data which depends on drop down selection by departments.
One column in this grid is hyperlink which send three different parameters to detail screen. I am using URL on the HTML side: NavigateUrl='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.STATUS_DESC", "../reports/rp_balancesum_det.aspx?stStat="+DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "STATUS_CODE </asp:HyperLink>

and I get it in next page like:
strStatus = Request.QueryString("stStat")
strAudit = Request.QueryString("stAud")

I need to be able to send drop down value or text to detail screen too and this value is not a part of my dataset.
I cannot use Response.redirect....
How can I do this programatically?
