Accessing one page controls to an other page in asp.net 2.0

Good Morning Bravi

There are two Options the first one you can put the value of those controls in a Session variable and access them in another page. But if there are a lot of Controls in other page, then you can create a usercontrol , then in a usercontrol you can expose the values of those controls to the Hosting page and they can be accessed anywhere.

Good Morning Bravi

That is another options. here is an Example of the Crosspage

if (Page.PreviousPage != null)

{

    TextBox SourceTextBox = 

        (TextBox)Page.PreviousPage.FindControl("TextBox1");

    if (SourceTextBox != null)

    {

        Label1.Text = SourceTextBox.Text;

    }

}

as you can see , you need to check if the Previous page is still valid or available and then access its Controls using the FindControl method and use the Controls as if they are in the same page

It sounds to me like you are trying to build a multistep wizard.

There is a built in control which will allow you to do the multi staged process - and it automatically remembers the values of all the controls in the previous steps.

as Rtpharry said, it looks like you are doing a Wizard type of thing. Follow his Advice. use the Wizard Control its Very very Easy to use.

You might also find my recent blog post about using named wizard steps handy as it shows a good way to manage referencing previous / future steps and how to find controls inside those steps.
