Hello,
I have a webapp with on each page a "language" drop down list. Now, if I
choose X, I want to initialise the drop down list to X. Easy to understand.
But what is the best way to do this in ASP.NET? The obvious answer is, I
think, the Session object. But one thing annoys me: a session can expire. It
is difficult to guess the expiration time; 20 minutes, 40, 60? I just don't
know. Is there a better way to pass data between pages? I was thinking about
the good old url parameters: page.aspx?langu age=en. But I don't think that's
the ASP.NET way.
Ideas, suggestions and comments more than welcome.

If you are talking about small amounts of data, passing it in the URL is
fine.
It is not difficult to guess the expiration time of a session, since that is
a setting you configure

It is. You never know how long a customer will stay on your site. 5 minutes
or 2 hours?

The session timer is reset each time a user request a
page, so it is perfectly normal to keep your currently
selected language in the session. The session expires if
the user doesn't request a page for longer than X minutes
where X is your session timeout period which is by default
set to 20 minutes.
You could keep the language in the viewstate but it will
not be easily accessible from nested child controls and
such. Since the selected language is more of a global
variable that all pages and controls probably use the
Session is the best way to keep it. -----Original Message-----

Is there a way to carry data that I have already read from the datagrid from

I am looking at my Datagrid that I page through and when the user says get

a way to use the dataset to allow us to read back and forth in it instead of
going back to the database to get it?

Hi
I'd like to post a page to another page using LinkButton.PostBackUrl. Then
using another LinkButton on the target page post back to the source page and
restore the controls to the state they were in before the first post to the
target.
Is there an easy way to do this? Perhaps I should consider another approach?
Many thanks
