passing values

[Andrew]

How do I pass a variable from one webpage to another in C# ?
I have created a UserLogin page which wants to pass the value of UserName to
another page called UserPage.

Help appreciated. Thanks.

I have created a UserLogin page which wants to pass the value of
UserName to
another page called UserPage.

The easy way would be to use the Session object, which stores data for a
single user session. You could store the login user like this:

Session["UserName"] = "Andrew";

And you can retrieve it (in UserPage) like this:

string sUserName = Convert.ToString( Session["UserName"] );

Both lines may throw an exception if sessions are not enabled, or if the
variable wasn't set.

If it's only something small then you could use the Session to store it. I
say if it's only something small because if you use the Session too much then
your application scalability will quickly degrade.
