Postback and Querystrings...

[Interwizard]

Hi all!

In ASP.Net,, when using a webform that does a postback, is there a way to modify the postback to include querystrings originally passed into the page?

Currently, I have web forms that allow for QueryStrings to be passed to alter results. Those pages allow paging functions, etc that are handled through a postback. On the postback the querystrings are lost. Of course, I could drop the values into a session variable, cookie or hidden textbox but these do not seem to be clean solutions. Has anyone else encountered a way to customize the postback in this manner?

Cheers,
Bill Dodd

You don't have complete control in this arena.

However, you can place querystring values into ViewState, which will be persisted over postback, so

if(!IsPostBack)
//grab values from querystring and stuff into ViewState
else
//grab values from ViewState

Great tip! I had no idea you could manually store things in ViewState. That's sweet. Thanks a ton for the tip!
