Hi there,

I have a home page with a user control that allows you to do enter
certain parameters and submit them for a search using a stored proc,
however there is no room for me to display a datagrid with results on
the home page so I have built a page that has the same search with
additional parameters and a datagrid to display results. Can anyone
point me to an example where I can pass the search parameters from home
page to the search page and display the results on the datagrid on the
search page...Please help!!

Isn't it a security issue to put a search string on a URL? Are there
any other options or can someone point me to an example,

You can store stuff in the session object.
Session.Item("Whatever")="PARM"

then in the next page just read it:

dim parm as string = Session.Item("Whatever')

In addition to querystrings, you can also make use of the Session and the
Profile objects
 
No, its not neccesarily a security issue unless you are passing secure data.
In any case, its highly likely that you're not even running https, in which
case the point is mute.
