I my application due to company restrictions we can not use sessions,query string or cookies. I have to retain a string after response.redirect to the same page. To be more clear, when the user is already on XYZ.aspx page and the same user redirects to the same page by clicking on navigation menu I want to read the string to which value is assigned before navigation using menu.

Tried using PreviousPageType directive which is giving "circular file references are not allowed" exception.
Can some one please suggest an approch to handle this.

In XYZ.aspx page the PreviousPageType directive used is below(Which did not worked)
<%@ PreviousPageType VirtualPath="XYZ.aspx" %>

Your company has ridiculous and unwarranted restrictions. The only way you can store any state is by doing POST submissions from one page to another, and redirect uses GET, not POST. There is no way for you to store state after a redirect. Tell your company that if they insist on these stupid restrictions you simply can't store state and many tasks simply can't be done. Ideally look for another job too :)
