Posting With a Button Click

[justTryingToCode]

Hi all experts.

I am new to c# .NET and have a question about submitting a form on a button click event.

I want to post form data to a new page after validating data with a custom validator control. I have everything working except the post part. Here is my code:

protected void btnGo_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
valDateValidator.Enabled = true;
Page.Validate();
if (Page.IsValid)
{
???? Post form data to new page...
}

}

Thank you in advance..
Jon

Hi Jon,

You might have more luck/more responses if you trie posting in the asp.net forum:

You can do two things to send the data to another page:

1 form a url containing the new page and the data as request variables and use response.redirect to go to the new page, where the request varaibles will be read out, as in:

response.redirect(

http://localhost/mysite/page2?var1=1&var2=test)

2 put the data in session variables, redirect to the new page and read the data from the session.

Each method has its pros and cons.

Following Painkillers suggestions, here's what I would do:

protected void btnGo_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
valDateValidator.Enabled = true;
Page.Validate();
if (Page.IsValid)
{
//add data to session variable
string stringVariable = "My Variable";
Session.Add("variablename", stringVariable);
}

}
That's the variable stored in a session, which can be read back by elsewhere in your form, i.e.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string stringVariable = (String)Session["variablename"];
}

Simple as that.

Thank you markknowsley.

That is a solution I had in mind, but Im concerned about people having session vars not on.

You would think this would be simple.. LOL a form post..

thanks for all your help, I will keep looking and post a solution when I find it, unless someone gets to it first.

I am going to use javascript injection to do the post.

If anyone has a better way, please post it up here for reference. I will check back later.

Thank you to everyone who took some time to read answer my issue.

Well Javascript injection gave some MAC errors, but the good news is I found out what to use by googling that error.

Apparently using Server.Transfer("<new_page_name>",true)

Does the post and preserves the form data.

Thanks again for all your help.
