Hi,
Thanks a lot for your immediate response. I will explain my problem clearly and in more detail

this is my code in first page.

protected void btnLogin_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string pusername = NameTextBox.Text;
        Response.Redirect("~/OrderForm.aspx?username=" + pusername);
    }

this is my code in second page

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
      if (!IsPostBack)
      {
          string username = Request.QueryString["pusername"];
          lblWelcome.Text += "Welcome," + username ;
      }
  }

when I try to get this variable pusername in the second page, I am not getting it. Can you please tell what could be the error. If i try it retrieve this values using their position in the querystring then it works.
Please tell me how to do with variables as I mentioned.

the QueryString key in your first page is "username",so you must get it by Request.QueryString["username"],not the "pusername"

Solution 1

Instead of this:

C#

string username = Request.QueryString["pusername"];

do this:

C#

string username = Request.QueryString["username"];

Your querystring variable is 'username' & 'pusername' is a variable used to assign value in previous page.

Thanks for the reply but how it will fetch the user name entered in the first page. Your suggestion is not working. Read my problem again please

I thought it would be better if I share an article with a sample attached: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/QueryString.aspx

BTW, I did read your question and what I suggested is the way you work with querystring! It's your time now to read and try again :)

Actually, this answer is correct based on the question you asked. The value you want to retrieve MUST be the same as the keyname you try to save it as. If that doesn't make sense, do some reading on the Querystring to understand why this is so. Cheers.
