Re: Collection of data in multiple forms

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Use a multi-panel form (allows you to "wizard" the page). Show each panel in
order and keep the info stored in the controls on the page. Even when
invisible, you will still hold the control's info in ViewState. This way you
do not have to work with session elements.

If you need to go to session, create objects that have the info you need to
persist to the database when the user is finished and keep the objects in
session. Be sure to clear them out after you are done with the order.

Hello,
I need to collect a lot of data before really committing changes

For examples
I need to collect User Personal Information
Then Collect CreditCard information
etc.

Today I have it in one page
Which is too much in my view

I would like to break it down in to two or more pages and process it at
the end

I was thinking of collecting the data and storing it in a Session object
and then process all of it in the last page

Are there any issues in storing the data in Session variables

Any other ways I could do it

Thanksin Advance
