I have an input tag in asp.net page in a form which looks like this

HTML

<form method="post" action="Email sent.aspx">

.The input tag goes like

<input type="text" id="txtName" class="text" name="Name" />

. So basically what I want to do is to store the input value in a session and then use it in the Email sent.aspx page.What should I do to achieve my goal?

Solution 1

string name = Request.Form["Name"]
Session["name"] = name;

// then to retrieve

string name = string.Empty;
if (Session["name"] != null)
{
    name = (string)Session["Name"];
}

I suggest you go through some books on asp.net as this stuff is all fairly basic. If you don't know how to handle form inputs then you'll struggle with most things.

when i press the submit button the page is posted to Email sent.aspx page but I have written the code in some other page. I copied and pasted the code in email sent.aspx page in page load event. i applied the breakpoint and found out that the name is having no value. i have created the session in page load of the default page. I think this is the error. But then where should I create a session??

well you dont have to create session, it has been created for you when your application started.

just make sure you are saving something in your session variable before you try to retrieve it

Give PostbackUrl property to button and then find control in redirected page.

XML

<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server"
       Text="Submit Page to Itself"
           onclick="Button1_Click" /> <asp:Button
           ID="Button2" runat="server"
           Text="Submit Page to Webform2.aspx"
           PostBackUrl="~/WebForm2.aspx" />

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
TextBox textbox2;
Calendar calender2;
textbox2 = (TextBox)PreviousPage.FindControl("TextBox1");
calender2 = (Calendar)PreviousPage.FindControl("Calendar1");
Label1.Text = "Hello" + textbox2.Text + "
" +
" Your date of birth is " + calender2.SelectedDate.ToShortDateString();

}
