Session and Viewstate bai Rob :D – Personalism

Answer 1

There is no direct equivalent (that is, data that is only passed to the next page).

You can use Session and clear it out on the receiving page.

Answer 2

You can use either Session or Viewstate to pass data between pages in ASP.NET application.

ViewState between pages? I don't think so. – Shipe

I suggest you read the article. He is using Server.Transfer. This is not the same a loading a new page or doing a redirect. – Shipe

Oded, will it do what @rob waminal asks for or not. I'm not discussing about Responce.Redirect versus Server.Transfer when in this case you right they are different. – Logy

@eugeneK: I'll be passing some query strings to the called page so Server.Transfer is a no. – Perm

Then you can save in Cache and Application but this will be global to all application users, so use Session for user specific data. – Logy
