accessing showModalDialog args in ASP.NET

[SL]

Hi there... if I call window.showModalDialog(url,args,options) in javascript
on my page, and the target url is another asp.net page, when that page
loads, how can I access the data sent in the args parameter in the target
aspx page?

Thanks,
Sheryl

Thank you.... is there no way to detect it server-side, in Page_Load, or
something?

If not, thanks anyway!

Not that I know of off the top of my head, javascript isn't my strong
point. You could pull data in page_load if you were passing simple
variables in the querystring. I would suspect that you could use some
AJAX to get the variables as well, but no 100% guarantee. I'm sure
there's ways to make it possible (like assign the vars to hidden text
boxes and trigger a submit, then scrape request.form), but not default
"out-of-the-box" asp.net.

Hi Sheryl,

I agree with Darren, as for the "dialogarguements", they're client-side
script specific interfaces so the ASP.NET server-side code can not directly
use them. ASP.NET server-side code can only get the querystring embeded in
the url. So if you need to make such parameters available in the ASP.NET
server-side code when the page is first time loaded, we need to use
querystring as the transfer approach.
