passing field value in asp.net 2010

I am asking the following question since this is the first few C# asp.net 2010 web form pages I am working with at my company. My problem is I want to pass the value of orgName from the code listed below to a new web page called Next_Page.aspx as a session variable. The problem is by the time I get to the method called 'submit_button', I do not have the value of 'orgName' any longer. Thus can you tell me what I need to do to have the value of 'orgName' obtain from the 'FindOrg' available to the 'submit_button' method? If the value or orgname is within the (object sender, EventArgs e) of the SubmitButton method can you tell me how to access this value?

The code listed below is all from the same web page called first.aspx.cs.



The following is the current code:

Code:

---

  protected void FindOrg(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            try
            {
                String strOrgSql = "";
                String orgName = txtOrgName.Text.Trim();
               
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                //do something
 
            }
 
        }
 
protected void submit_button(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            try
            {
 
              want orgname value here 
               
                Session["orgname"] = orgname;               
                Response.Redirect("~/Next_Page.aspx");
 
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                // do something
 
            }
 
        }

Hi,

You would not get the org val in submit as it is a local variable. Either declare it globally else set the session in the 1st function itself

How would I declare the column globally? Would I call the varirable public and place it within the highest level namespace? The location would be near where the class or partial class are defined?

You would have to declare it at the page level

Code:

---

public partial class first : System.Web.UI.Page
    {
        #region Public Variables
        String orgName;
      #endregion
//Rest of the code goes here
