How to access one web form from other web form in ASP.Net

[diamond4u]

Hi,

I am new to ASP.Net.

I have two web forms & I want to access a property/function of one web form from other web form's event.

Can I do that? If yes, then how should I go?

Looking for a quick solution,
Diamond :confused:

Hi,
I don't think u can do it.
A web form runs momentarily and terminates as soon as it completes the processing and had sent the output to the client.
You can use Sever.Execute method to process the second web form from the first web form but this will give u the html output of the second form. I don't think that there is a way to access a property or method of a web form from another web form.

Hi

Try this:

Form1.aspx.vb :: Use Namespace in the begining of the page.

'--Code starts

Namespace Murali

Public Class form1
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Protected WithEvents TextBox1 As System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox
Protected WithEvents TextBox2 As System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox
Protected WithEvents Button1 As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button

#Region " Web Form Designer Generated Code "

'This call is required by the Web Form Designer.
<System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> Private Sub InitializeComponent()

End Sub

Private Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Init
'CODEGEN: This method call is required by the Web Form Designer
'Do not modify it using the code editor.
InitializeComponent()
End Sub

#End Region

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'Put user code to initialize the page here
End Sub

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

TextBox2.Text = myfunction(TextBox1.Text)

End Sub

Function myfunction(ByVal a As Integer) As Integer
Return a * 10
End Function


End Class
End Namespace

'--- code ends


Form2.aspx.vb : call the myfunction (form1's function ) in 2nd Aspx page:

'--Code begins....

Public Class Form2
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Protected WithEvents TextBox1 As System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox
Protected WithEvents TextBox2 As System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox
Protected WithEvents Button1 As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Button

#Region " Web Form Designer Generated Code "

'This call is required by the Web Form Designer.
<System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> Private Sub InitializeComponent()

End Sub

Private Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Init
'CODEGEN: This method call is required by the Web Form Designer
'Do not modify it using the code editor.
InitializeComponent()
End Sub

#End Region
Dim x As New Murali.form1()

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
TextBox2.Text = x.myfunction(TextBox1.Text)
End Sub
End Class


'-- Code ends..
