Passing Variables to a new page, when clicking submit

Question

I have a page with 2 dropdrownlists & a submit button. I would like to pass the values(variables) of the dropdownlists to another page when I click submit.

Any thoughts or suggestions as to accomplish this. I have done something similar to this using asp:HyperLinkField, but I this does not work in my current scenario.

What about putting them in session and accessing them from session on another page?

You need to place a declaration on the second page where data come from.

So you have:

PostBackUrl="SecondPage.aspx"

On SecondPage.aspx you declare where you can get informations

<%@ PreviousPageType VirtualPath="~/FirstPage.aspx" %>

and you get them by...

if (Page.PreviousPage != null)
{
    if(Page.PreviousPage.IsCrossPagePostBack == true)
    {
        GetTheClass = PreviousPage.CustomDataClass;
        // or you find your control, and get your data
    }
}

Some reference.

this is what I have for the submit event... what else do I need to pass these two variables? Protected Sub Submit_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Submit.Click PostBackUrl = "LiveEventCity.aspx?STATE={0}&CITY={1}" End Sub – FluxEngine Apr 27 '11 at 13:40
Good Idea :).. That's why I started my answer with "What about" as it was just another opinion that would work. Not sure what the asker is looking for anyway – Subhash Dike Apr 27 '11 at 13:41
@user630581 Yes of course you can pass it from url - this is not post (as you ask) however, is just a link, and you need ether to make it with javascript, ether to make it after the post. – Aristos Apr 27 '11 at 22:24
