RE: data disappearing problem on the forms when navigate
Hi Betty,
As for the data disappearing problem when swtiching page through the
browser's back/forward button, it's the expected behavior because different
pages are displayed in browser through different http requests to server.
When we use back button of browser, it may display the previous page with
input fields filled since the page is retrieved from cache. However, when
go forward again, the page is requested again from serverside, then the
input fields on the page will be the initial state(empty). And for such
scenario I think your current approach that using session state to store
the temp data is reasonable, and the only drawback is that we have to clear
the session data as soon as possible(right after we finish using them) so
as to avoid occupying too much server resource...
BTW, if you feel it possible that we put the wizard/multiple steps like
user interface in single page, you can consider my suggestion on using the
ASP.NET 2.0's wizard control as mentioned in your another thread.
