post result on a different page

Hi:

i'm developing a web based application in VB .NET. I have a form where a user can enter some criteria, click on a find button then the results will be posted on a different page on a datagrid. on form1( where the find button is located) i placed the below code in it:

Response.Redirect("area_find.aspx?code=txtAreaCode&description=txtAreaDescription")

txtAreaCode & txtAreaDescription are the criteria on the form
Code & desription are how they are defined in the database

on form2(where the datagrid will display the information) i placed the below code:

If Not IsPostBack Then

Dim v1, v2 As String
v1 = Request.Form("txtAreaCode.text")
v1 = Request.QueryString("code")
v2 = Request.Form("txtAreaDescription.text")
v2 = Request.QueryString("description")

then the sql code comes...

which should i use? Request.Form or Request.QueryString and how?

thanks in advance

In the page that does the submitting, is the form's method set to post or get?

If it's POST, then you could do a Request.Form(), else if it's GET and the data appears in the URL, then do a Request.QueryString()

What I fail to understand is, why you are placing the user-input text into a URL and then redirecting the page. Why not just submit it?
