This is the windows forms board, how is it yuo want to pass stuff via a URL ? If the data is stored in the DB already, you can just pass an Id to get it from the DB. You can also do cross page postback in .NET 2.0, or you can use the URL, as someone has already said. There's also the session, but that would be my last port of call.
