Hi,

I have 3 asp.net pages HomePage.aspx, Page1.aspx & Page2.aspx.

Page1.aspx and Page2.aspx has a link through which I can go to HomePage.aspx.

My Question is:
In HomePage.aspx, how can I check a condition if the page has been opened from Page2.aspx or Page3.aspx?

I am not supposed to use querystring.

Please Help !!!
