passing a DropdownList value to another wizard step?

I have a wizard that has 3 wizardSteps. The first one is selecting a
NewsArticle from the combobox to edit. The second wizardStep (pressing next)
loads the whole database record into a form. The third step would be for
them to confirm the changes before submitting. I know how to get the confirm
part to work as well as the update part itself but how would I get the
combobox step to load the whole record into a form in the next wizardStep?On 10 Jan, 00:11, "Andy B" <a_bo...@.sbcglobal.net> wrote:

Hi Andy,
Could you not put the combo box value into the query string, or into
session?
Another, more complex apprach would be to write the value using
JavaScript into a hidden field value then pick it up as step 2 loads.

Passing a string value to userb wizard control?

Hi all,

Don't really know if this is the correct forum for this post but i'll give it a try!

I am trying to find out how to pass a string value from one page to a text box on the starting step of a UserWizard control.

Does anybody know how I can acheive this or does anybody know of a similar tutorial?

Try to use a session variable to save the value of the textbox in it and retrieve it whenever you want. for more about session check below link

I'm, actually using a string value from a repeater which in turn passes the value to a textbox in the UserWizard control.

Tried a similar technique as proposed by yourself, however the wizard control does not seem to accept the method and thats why I'm confused!

Hi,

Does ViewState make sense? If so, here is reference:
