Hi,

i have 1 aspx named as "aspx1" i have created 1 textbox and 1 button.
when i click a button how to pass a parameter in textbox to aspx2.aspx?

I insert action=aspx2.aspx in <Form ....>.
then i run and click the button i have seen no action from them.
what's wrong? do i need to coding in codebehind file?

Thanks for advance

What does your <form> code look like? (Show more)

How are you trying to access the values in page 2?

[naruponk]

<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server" action="aspx2.aspx">

I have set a session in code behind file of aspx1.aspx, i just want to test that how to pass a parameter to aspx2

below is a code of event Page_Load on aspx2
TextBox1.Text=Convert.ToString(Session["Test"]);

Thanks for reply

[mendhak]

Use Request.Form(), not Session().

[naruponk]

Why when i press a submit button, in URL address is still aspx1.aspx?
I have set action=aspx2 so URL address should shows aspx2.aspx

[mendhak]

Depends. What sort of a submit button is it? Is it an <input type="submit"> or is it an asp:button with the text "Submit"?

[naruponk]

currently using <input type="submit"> What should i do?
how about asp:button?

[mendhak]

Strange. Assuming that's the code you showed me, it shouldn't be like that.

Post more code?

[naruponk]

Sorry, This is HTML Code

<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server" action="aspx2.aspx">
<INPUT style="Z-INDEX: 101; LEFT: 304px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 160px" type="submit" value="Submit"> </form>

[mendhak]

Remove the runat="server" from the <form> tag.

[naruponk]

Thanks it works!

Below is code in Page_load event on aspx2

if (Convert.ToString(Session["Test"])="Test")
{
TextBox1.Text="Test Successfully";
}

I got an error that "Cannot implicitly convert type string to bool"

[mendhak]

if (Convert.ToString(Session["Test"])=="Test")
{
TextBox1.Text="Test Successfully";
}

Got it thanks a lot mendhak
What's advantage of runat=server tag?

[mendhak]

When you use runat="server", it means you want it to be accessible in your codebehind.

As a simple example, if you place a textbox on the page like so:

<input type="text" id="txtUserName" runat="server">

You could then work with it in your .vb file like so:

Me.txtUserName.Text = "Something"

You had the runat="server" attribute in your form tag, which meant it was a server side tag, and that was causing the problems. But to tell you the truth, I'm not sure why. It's often the case, gotta be careful with them runat="server" attributes!
