Scope of HttpContext.Current.Items

Question

Are the HttpContext.Current.Items lost when a Server.Transfer(); occurs?

If so what is the best way for me to send information to another page without going through the Session?

Why wouldn't you want to go through the session? – thommie Jul 14 '13 at 08:39 — thommie, Jul 14 '13 at 08:39

Yes, the context would still be valid. It would become invalid or break if you use Response.Redirect().

You can access Page.PreviousPage property with all data on it when using Server.Transfer(). And also yes, context would be valid.

would the context still be valid or would a new context have been built for the call ? – Alexandre Brisebois Oct 12 '09 at 17:24

There is a caveat that applies to referencing controls and their value from Page.PreviousPage via FindControl if the previous page is using a master page. You have to first referenece the content placeholder is that you have to first reference the content placeholder (null checks omitted for brevity): `var cp = this.PreviousPage.Controls[0].FindControl("ContentPlaceHolder1");` `TextBox txtFirstName = (TextBox)cp.FindControl("txtFirstName");` – Charles Byrne Dec 17 '14 at 13:37
