Redirect on form submission

[venerable bede]

I have a asp.net web form which contains a Dropdown box and a submit button.

All I want to do is redirect the user to another page, "anotherpage.aspx"
and be able to refer to the contents of the chosen item on the dropdown so I
can open "anotherpage.aspx" at the correct detail record.

This is driving me nuts. In classic asp I would set the action of the form
tag to "anotherpage.aspx" and use request.form(dropdownbox).

Can anyone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks In Advance dotnetters

I suggest that in the codebehind on the button click you do a page redirect with the item chosen in the dropdown as argument to the new aspx page. I don't have any code where I am sitting right now but something like:

response.redirect("newpage.aspx?item= " + "dropdownlist.text");
then from the newpage.aspx you can access the item variable as response. querystring or something like that... I can post some code on how to do it if you like...

kind regards
