I'm asking this question besause I found some articles on the web
which are recommending Server.Transfer for moving between forms.
Ex: // New public properties are defined in WebForm1:
public string TBText
{
get
{
return TextBox1.Text;
}
}
// Then on ButtonClick event, the other form is invoked
Server.Transfer("WebForm2.aspx");
----------------------------------------------------------
The destination form - WebForm2 is using code like this to access fields in
WebForm1.
WebForm1 Form1;
Form1 = (WebForm1) HTTP.Context.Handler;
TextBox1.Text = Form1.TBText;
I was wonderig if I can avoid the step for creating public properties, by
declaring the fields in WebForm1 as public,
and then access their values in WebForm2 like:
Ex. 2
WebForm1 Form1;
Form1 = (WebForm1) HTTP.Context.Handler;
TextBox1.Text = Form1.TextBox1.Text;
Is the approach in Ex1 Ok?
Is the approach in Ex2 Wrong and Why?
Thanks

Trebor,
The reason that's happening is that controls in your Webform cannot be
public. When you browse to a Webform, an instance of that class is
created. The request is served and a response is sent to the client. At
that point, the instance of your Webform is no longer accessible.
Therefore, it would be useless to have a public member of a Webform.
Protected is the correct access modifier.

All the fields in webforms are automatically declared as protected.
If I change them to public, they are converted back to protected.
Why is this happening ?
Thanks
