preserve previous page state - asp.net

sri_san

Hello,
I am working on a website where I need to navigate to the
previous page once the user clicks on "back" button. I store the
previous page from the "HTTP_REFER ER" Server variable and the back
works fine. But unfortunately, I am not able to have the user
selections preserved on the previous page.
Another solution I tried was to user javascript's history method.It
does not work for some reason as it asks to refresh the page from the
server.

Looking for a solution to do the job without saving the previous page
user selection in session variables.

Thanks,
Sam.

You will have to persist the information in ViewState somewhere to allow this
functionality. A session static property bag is probably the easiest method.
Simply store any dataSets and the chosen values in the bag and empty after
you reconstitute the page, refill if they navigate off to page 2.

If this is a multi-page form, consider placing all parts on one page, each
in a panel. Still appears multi-page, but the state of each control is held
in viewstate. This makes it easy to nav forward and back.

Using hidden form fields to preserve state

by: Mark | last post by:

Assume you have a web application with many different web pages, and you'd like to avoid using cookies and storing session state in any form. Assume further that bandwidth and security are not issues. Could you conceivably store a serialized object containing state information in a hidden form field, and pass it from page to page to page avoiding the use of cookies and session data? Thanks.
