Hi all,
I am developing a web application in which i need to store a some values in a hiddenfield and i need to access this values in other pages. I need to post huge data and so i prefer using HiddenField than Session or QueryString. I am using the following code.

Default1.aspx

<asp:HiddenField ID="hdnEmailID" runat="server" />

Default1.aspx.cs

C#

protected void LinkGroupSummary_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {            
            hdnEmailID.Value = this.EmailList;
            Server.Transfer("Default2.aspx");

        }

Default2.aspx.cs

C#

if (Page.PreviousPage != null)
                    {
                        HiddenField MyHiddenValue = (HiddenField)Page.PreviousPage.FindControl("hdnEmailID");
                        if (MyHiddenValue != null)
                        {
                            string email = MyHiddenValue.Value;
                        }
                    }

In the Default.aspx.cs page, i am getting MyHiddenField as null always.

Please help.

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

make it a server control hiddenfield. Set the PostbackUrl property of the button to the next page and retrieve the information there.

For a good example on how to use the PostBackUrl property take a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.button.postbackurl.aspx.

How to: Pass Values Between ASP.NET Web Pages[^] should be the perfect link for you to go through. Have a look at how _VIEWSTATE_ automatically passes hidden fields when posting data.
