VJs Tip Of The Day - August 24th 2004

Maintaining State Across ASP.Net Pages

We will talk about two standard methods of maintaining state across ASP.Net pages today... The more sophisticated methods will be discussed from tomorrow onwards...

1) Using QueryString : You can pass values of one page to another page using Query strings... This is an old ASP custom but for security reason not always recomended in ASP.Net

2) Using Session : You can also pass values of one page to another by storing them in session... Use of session is pretty simple and we have discussed that earlier as well (Click Here)... But do understand the fact that Session variables are to store user specific information which is unique to each user and not each page... Also do note that if you forget to clean the session variables in the next page you might land up increasing the session size like anything effecting performance of your application...
