New Programmer in need of help!!

[georgedawg97]

Hello all, and wanted to first say thanks to all that are going to help me with this.
I have a program that I am writing..Form1 has multiple fields that do not need to be hard coded ie. first name, last name (just data entry). There is a button on form 1 that says "select conference options". When I click that button, it opens up my form2(frmconferenceoptions). On that field, there are 2 check boxes and a list box with 4 options in it. When I select 1 of the check boxes and click the close button on form 2, I need the data (price of the conference) to transfer back to form 1 in the lbltotalcost field. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

I would use a database table. If you have a form you are probably going to want to store the info anyway, so rather working with an elaborate set of sessions and cookies I would suggest having it always available.

This is an assignment for school. No real need to store any of the data.

If you are not going to use a database, I suggest using xml. Whether it is a table or xml, I believe that it will be better/ easier to store and retrieve the data from such a source.

Alternatively, if you want a low tech unsecure soution, try passing the value in the URL redirection back to the form.

form1.aspx?fieldname=fieldvalue

I assume that the xml solution would get an A, while the URL value would only achieve a C ;).

Hope that this helps.
