Read form values from previous page

[ciupaz]

Hi all,
in a .aspx page I have a button with

onclick="this.form.action='Test2.aspx'"

and several input fields,

Surname: <br />
<input type="text" id="cognome" name="cognome" /><br />
City: <br />
<input type="text" id="city" name="city" />
<p />

How can I read the values from the previous page?

Thanks in advance.

Luis

pull the values from the From dictionary.

string cognome = Request.Form["cognome"];
string city = Request.Form["city"];

YOu can do it the way you are doing however that is classic ASP programming. If you are using the 2.0 framwork or greater then look into CrossPagePosting:

set the PostbackUrl property of a button to set the action. Then on the page you are posting to, you get the PreviousPage property and controls from it.
