how ASP.NET page gets user input from another ASP.NET page??

[Matthew Louden]

In ASP, if I have asppage.asp for GUI and aspprocess.asp for process
requests from database.

In asppage.asp code will be like:
<form action="aspprocess.asp" method="POST"> GUI CODE </form>

When the user clicks the submit button on asppage.asp, it will invoke
aspprocess.asp page

aspprocess.asp code can get the user input from asppage.asp by doing:
Request.Form("Control_ID")

In ASP.NET, if I want to achieve the same goal: if I have aspxpage.aspx for
GUI and aspxprocess.aspx for process requests from database

In aspxpage.aspx code will be like:
<form id="Form1" method="post" action="aspxprocess.aspx" runat="server"> GUI
CODE </form>

However, when the user clicks the submit button on aspxpage.aspx, it didn't
invoke aspxpage.aspx page at all, unless I do the the following:

Private Sub Submit1_ServerClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Submit1.ServerClick
Response.Redirect("aspxprocess.aspx")
End Sub

But even now I am in aspxprocess.aspx page, how can I get the user input
from aspxpage.aspx??
Request.Form("Control_ID") no longer works.

Please advise!
Thanks!

Setting the form action attribute just isn't the ASP.NET way.

Of course there are a number of ways to pass values from one page to
another, such as using the querystring, cookies, session,
context, saving to a temporary table in the database between each page, etc.
You'll have to decide which technique is best for your application.
Here are several good articles on the subject to help you decide.

Here's one nice, simple way to pass values from one page to another:

'Add data to the context object before transferring
Context.Items("myParameter") = x
Server.Transfer("WebForm2.aspx")

Then, in WebForm2.aspx:

'Grab data from the context property
Dim x as Integer = CType(Context.Items("myParameter"),Integer)
