Hi,

I am using Session variables for storing the values. Now I am converting these session values to hidden field. For single values like username or password it is fine me to convert it. but I want to convert arraylist,datatable etc to hidden field.

How can I convert it to hidden field?

Is there any better solution other than storing list to hidden field so that I can use that values to next page.

Thanks

As sidenote: I would strongly advice against storing username/password in hidden fields and/or in the viewstate.

Why are you gloing for Hiddenfields. Use Viewstate instead. It internally uses hidden variable, and you can store anything which is serializable.
