Passing values between pages with MasterPages

[Steve]

After a few hours of trial and error I have reached the following
conclusions, can you please tell me if I am right:

I have 2 aspx pages both with the same master page and I wish to pass
values from one to the other.

1. The postbackurl method doesn't seem to work with master pages. If I
take away the master pages it works.

2. The server.transfer method also doesn't work if I try to acess the
values via Request.Form or PreviousPage.Fi ndControl. Again if I take
away the master pages it works.

3. My only option if I don't want to use the querystring to pass the
values (i.e. response.redire ct) is to use a method which stores the
values in the server's RAM. e.g use Context.Items in conjunction with
Server.Transfer . This works with MasterPages but has the downfall of
the server's RAM now being used.

Please tell me if I am wrong or if there is no way of using cross page
posting or server.transfer for passing values from one aspx page with a
masterpage to another with the same masterpage without storing the
values in RAM?

Kind regards,

Steve.

Try using session variables, which should persist across page requests at a
user level:

1)
Session("Settin gName") = strSettingValue

2)
strSettingValue = CStr(Session("S ettingName"))
