Get a value from another page

[wey97]

How can you retrieve a value from one page to another?

For example if you have Webform1 and Webform2 in the Namespace WebApplication1 I would like to do this:

WebForm1.aspx

.
.
.
	public class WebForm1 : System.Web.UI.Page
	{
		// give public access
		public System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox TextBox1;
		protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button Button1;
	
		private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
			// Put user code to initialize the page here
		}

.
.
.

WebForm2.aspx

.
.
.
	public class WebForm2 : System.Web.UI.Page
	{
		protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox TextBox1;
	
		private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
		{
			TextBox1.Text = WebForm1.TextBox1.Text;
			// Put user code to initialize the page here
		}
.
.
.

The error is:

An object reference is required for the nonstatic field, method, or property 'WebApplication1.WebForm1.TextBox1'

You can do this many ways.

1. Querystring. "WebForm2.aspx?MyText=testtext"

2. Server.Transfer (I haven't done this, but I think you can do this.)

3. Session variable. Before you leave page 1, set a session variable:
Session("MyValue") = text1.text
In page 2, get the value:
text2.text = Session("MyValue")

For Server.Transfer, you would allow the form to submit and in the submit button click event you would put this code

Server.Transfer("nextPage.aspx", True)
'True means maintain the state of the form, 
'so the form elements can be requested from the nextPage.aspx page.

You can cast the Handler Property to get a ref back to the transfering page and access any public members that way
