method post problem

[Britney]

Hi guys,
in my default.aspx file, I have following code.
when I go to browser, I enter values in both textboxs, then I hit submit
Button,
however, it didn't go to page2.aspx. instead, it was still in default page.
I thought Action will direct page to page2.aspx, no???
<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server" action="page2.a spx">
<asp:TextBox id="TextBox1" runat="server"> </asp:TextBox>
<asp:TextBox id="TextBox2" runat="server"> </asp:TextBox>
<asp:Button id="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button"></asp:Button>
</form>

Hi Britney,

"Cross page postback" is not a feature of ASP.NET 1.x, as you just
discovered. It is however a feature in ASP.NET 2.0 (currently in beta
release) where a button can have a value for a PostBackUrl property. You can
read about this feature on the ASP.NET 2.0 Quickstart tutorials
http://beta.asp.net/QUICKSTART/aspne...s/default.aspx

Currently, you would have to use Server.Transfer (URL, bool) in response for
a ButtonClick event to transfer your form to another page; the bool parameter
would determine if want to keep (true) or clear (false) the Form and
QueryString collections. This link has the full syntax of the transfer
method:

With Server Controls, such as the text boxes and the button below, ASP.NET
relies on post-back capability. If you view-source on the html page you will
see that the ACTION attribute has been changed.

Alternatively, in the code-behind for the button_click event you can
server.transfer or response.redire ct to the other page.

I tried the following in my code-behind cs file, but it doesn't work.

I don't see it redirect to testing2.aspx..

So this is strange, any idea?

private void Button1_Click(o bject sender, System.EventArg s e)

{
Server.Transfer ("testing2.aspx ", true);

}

oh.. I can see it's doing redirect now.
when I view source, I can see the contents of html code are from page2.aspx.

however, the URL stay the same, it's still default.aspx
I wonder why...????

Hi Britney,

Notice that server.transfer does not cause the browser Address line to
change to indicate the new URL (this is probably why you thought it did not
work), but if you put any action in the Page_Load of the new page you will
realize that the second page is running.

okay.. .you're absolutely right..
Now... the reason I want to do "action" in the form originally is because I
want testing2.aspx receive values of two textboxes from default.aspx page.
if I do server.redirect , then how can testing2.aspx remember those values I
entered from prevous page?

Hi Britney,

If you were to use Server.Transfer ("secondPage.as px", true); in the first
page then you can access the values of the textboxes in the second page using
the forms collections, e.g. Request.Form["txtBox1"] would get you the value
inside the textbox with the id “txtBox1� that the user entered on the first
page.

Thank you very much..
Now I think I'm getting better and better on this stuff.

One more question,
I do not want user to go to secondPage.aspx directly.
in order to get into second page, user must go through firstPage.aspx first
(by submitting form)

how do I do that?

On the second page, I put these code in the page_load section, however,
even if I submit first page, IsPostBack is still FALSE. why?
if (IsPostBack==fa lse)

{

Response.Write( "Must going through first page");
}

else

{

............... .......

}
