PostbackUrl and Masterpages problem 1

[AndyH1]

I want a user to fill in a form and post using potsbackurl as in

http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-6154316.html#

however the site and the pages I am developing my pages on uses a masterpage (which I am not allowed to modify). Because of the Masterpage I cannot get the values from the previous page using the method described in the article, and wonder if anyone can advise a way of doing this without altering the masterpage (or if possible using the Findcontrol or server.transfer which I gather is inherently fragile)

Thanks
Andy

If you convert the object to the specific page (or interface if you define one) and expose the public properties required there should not be any issues.

Another option is to use the Context.Request.Params container and pull the raw values from there.

string value;
foreach(string key in Context.Request.Params.Keys)
{
   if(!key.EndsWith([name of control])) continue;
   value = Context.Request.Params[key];
   break;
}
//do something with value
