Data Transfer / Multiple pages.

[gerrybrennan]

Hi I have five pages. A B C D E; A calls B calls C. (via buttons on respective pages) also A calls D calls E. (via buttons on respective pages) A shows 2 values B1 & C1 (Both empty at start) A shows 2 more values D1 & E1 (Both empty at start) Notes. To get to C the user first presses Bbutton then when in B presses the CButton. When In C a user enters some data in text box C1 and returns to B. When In B C1 should be displayed. Also the user enters some more information B1 and returns to A When back at A, when page B returns A should update and show B1 & C1 To get to E the user first presses Dbutton then when in D presses the EButton. When In E a user enters some data in text box E1 and returns to D. When In D E1 should be displayed. Also the user enters some more information D1 and returns to A When back at A, when page D returns A should update and show B1 & C1 Could any seasoned professional please suggest how they would approach this. How do you exit a page and return to the calling page ? My preferred approach is using properties set/get. However how do you refresh relevent fields when a page returns? G.

The right way, is to make pages 1-5 all controls, put them all on the same page, and then you can use viewstate to store values and pass them between 'pages'

Are you a winforms programmer? Designing web pages like this will be a burden to the end user. You can use session variables, query strings or cross page posting to pass data one form to another.
