Retrieving info from a prior web page

[tassflint]

Hello all,

I am currently attepting to get info from a prior web page and can not figure out how this is done.

On my web page i have html text input controls, filled from a database. The users, once the info has been filled in, click on a link button and it goes to a processing page. This processing page will then look at what they have entered and redirect them to the next page for what they need.

I could have sworn there was a request.form(formname).item(controlname).Value that would do this, but i have not found anything like this.


Thanks in advance,

Brian

You can do it a few ways
1.) Querystring
2.) Session variables
3.) Viewstate

Create an OnClick event for your link button and populate some session variables - that would be the easiest way in my opinion.

Sub btnSubmit_Click(Sender as Object, e as EventArgs)
     Session("VariableName") = myControl.Text
End Sub

-or-

Sub btnSubmit_Click(Sender as Object, e as EventArgs)
     Session.Add("VariableName", value)
End Sub

Then on your next page, you can recall those session values and do whatever you want with them.
