I have a page containing a dropdownlist. After clicking a hyperlink
another page is opened.

How can I retrieve the selected text in the dropdownlist from the new
page without using a session or querystring?

If you are in ASP.NET 2.0 and are using a control capable of posting back to
another page (Button, ImageButton, LinkButton), you can postback to another
page and access the previous page via the PreviousPage property. Read the
Cross-Page Posting section in MSDN for more info.

You might be able to do using javascript, and pass the value back to the
code behind somehow.

Javascript would be something like:
parent.formname.controlname.value

Other than following Eliyahu's advice, you can't really... Once a page is
gone, it's gone - that's precisely why Session exists. What's the problem to
use Session, AAMOI...?
