in a c sharp web app, how do i create a session variable, and/or how do i pass values between two pages ( eg pass users dept from login page to teh next page). which is better, to use session variables or to pass values between pages?( there is no script tags in my aspx page, it just calls a c# class)
 
i downloaded that zip, unzipped it, placed the folder in my wwwroot folder, but when i try to access webform1.aspx or webform2.aspx, i get this error:

Configuration Error

any ideas??
 
You need to make sure the folder you unzipped into (c:\inetpub\wwwroot\pagetopagedata) is properly configured under IIS.
If you run the IIS Manager tool and find the folder under default web site and bring up it's property page there should be an option to create an application (near the bottom of the dialog). Hit create and then ok.
 
theres no folder called default web site, in the inetpub folder, or in the iis configuration manager.
 
sorry , i phrased that very wrongly. what i mean is , under the default web site folder , i can see pagetopage data, but it is not a folder. its just looks like a little box thats open. i have a new error now though when i try to load http://localhost/pagetopagedata/webform1.aspx:

sorry to keep bothering yall
 
In the IIS manager console you should have an entry for 'Internet Information Services'
under that there should be an entry for the computer itself and under that an entry called 'Default Web Site'

What version of windows are you running?
