preserve data after Server.Transfer is used

[GatorKnight904]

Does anyone know how to preserve data after Server.Transfer is used? What is happening is:

I am using the Server.Transfer method to send a 3 values from page 1 to page 2 on a website. Then a button is clicked which is suppose to load a hyperlink with 2 of the 3 values from page 1 and 2 new values from page 2. These values will be sent to page 3 through a query string after clicking the newly enabled hyperlink.

The problem I am having is when the button is clicked on page 2 the page posts back to itself and erases the values that were just sent to page 2 from page 1. Those valuse are needed to send to page 3 by query string.

Does anyone know how to save that data on page 2 once it is sent from page 1 so it will not be erased once the page posts back to itself? THANKS!!!!!

Hi,

Have you tried using hidden variables to store the data? These would be retained if you were re-submitting a form back to the same page. e.g.

<input type='hidden' name='hiddenvar 1' value='<%=Reque st("varfromPage 1")%>' />

Does this help at all?

Hello GatorKnight904,

It looks like your passing all your values within QueryStrings. Can’t you just re-add the value that was passed in from page one?

I.E.

PageOne.asp:

<a href="Page2.asp?ValueOne=1">Click Me</a>

PageTwo.asp:

<a href=’Page2.asp?ValueOne=<%=Request("ValueOne")%>&ValueTwo=2’> Click Me</a>

Hope that helps~

Thanks for all your help!

I actually accomplished what i needed by sending a copy of the values to the ViewState on the 1st page load.

'* Sending FirstName and LastName values to
'* the view state for use after the page is posted back
Me.ViewState("F irstName") = Request.Form.It em(1)
Me.ViewState("L astName") = Request.Form.It em(2)

Then when the page posted back i recalled the values out of the ViewState and it worked perfectly.

'* After page is posted back using the viewstate values the page is
'* restored with the past values before postback
Me.lblGreeting. Text = "Hello" & " " & Me.ViewState("F irstName") & " " & Me.
ViewState("Last Name")


Thanks for all your responses! It is greatly appreciated!!!
