ASP.NET Query

Puff Puff Pass

Hi,
Ive got a asp.net website with a master page for the layout - a page where a user types in there name and then it is displayed on a different page.

below is the code i have. im not getting any errors but its not displaying the name when the last page opens

details page

<%@ Page Language="VB" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="Details.aspx.vb" Inherits="Details" title="Details" %>

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server">
    <br />
    <asp:TextBox ID="txtFirstName" runat="server" Style="z-index: 100; left: 303px; position: absolute;
        top: 172px"></asp:TextBox>
    <br />
<asp:Button ID="btnSubmit" PostBackUrl="~/Results.aspx" runat="server" Style="z-index: 109; left: 261px; position: absolute;
        top: 328px" Text="Submit" />

and the results page

<%@ Page Language="VB" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="Results.aspx.vb" Inherits="Results" title="Results" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server">
<asp:Label ID="lblFirstName" runat="server" Style="z-index: 106; left: 181px; position: absolute;
        top: 278px" Text="FirstName"></asp:Label>

</asp:Content>

and the code behind the results page in the results.aspx.vb page

Partial Class Summary
    Inherits System.Web.UI.Page


    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

    End Sub


    Protected Sub lblFirstName_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles lblFirstName.Load
        lblFirstName.Text = Request.Form("Content1$ContentPlaceHolder1$txtFirstName")
    End Sub
End Class

thanks

Content1$ContentPlaceHolder1$ is not going to be the actual code that is within the webform. when your first page loads. right click it and view the source. find out what Content1$ContentPlaceHolder1$ actually is and replace it with this in your results page.

Ginger

in the results.aspx

In the Page_Load event try the following

lblFirstname.Text = Request.Form("txtFirstName")

Ginger

Or

If Not Page.PreviousPage Is Nothing Then
Dim SourceTextBox As TextBox
SourceTextBox = CType(PreviousPage.FindControl("txtFirstName"), _
TextBox)
If Not SourceTextBox Is Nothing Then
lblFirstname.Text = SourceTextBox.Text
End If
End If

Just as a matter of interest why are you doing cross page posting when a simple submit to the original page will work?

thanks nialo, your answer worked.
in the page load function for the results page i simply used

lblFirstName.Text = Request.Form("ct100$ContentPlaceHolder1$txtFirstName")

works perfect,
thanks
