How to pass a Arraylist to Next Page using Query String in ASP.Net

[madhumy]

I am having Arraylist containg list of data, Now I am using a Session variable concept to Pass the Arraylist to next page, Instead I want to use Querystring method, can it be done? I need code help.

Hello

Querystring allows a limited amount of data and also which is not secure ,second thing at the receiving page you will get data as a string which is not your actual datatype of the object. better try to avoid using querystring .

Yes, the Session object is infinitely more suited for this task.

I *think* if you said something like this:
"?mylist=a&mylist=b&mylist=c"
you can get the array, but you might need to do more like this:
"?mylist0=a&mylist1=b&mylist2=c"

Well, the Request.QueryString object is a string[] already, so I don't think the variable text matters at all. you can put ?anything=value1&anythingelse=value2 and you should still be able to loop through the values.

The difficulties lie in the fact that you have to construct the URL, and then deconstruct the QueryString into an ArrayList, where as in the Session object, you can just drop the whole arraylist in.
