Get a value from another page

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

Code:

---

.
.
.
        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

Code:

---

.
.
.
        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

VB 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
