asp.nethtmlpostbackurl

TextBox value used in url parameter


I have an ASP.NET site and I have a page which uses a url query string:

routeToScene.aspx?RunNumber=3253665

This loads fine when I pass the parameter RunNumber=XXXXXXX in the URL.

What I want to do is load this page by passing the RunNumber=XXXXXXX via a text box on another page called: routToHospitalParam.aspx with a simple submit button that takes the value in the textbox and passes it to the URL of the second page. This should be simple and I feel foolish for not finding an answer.

This is the code in the routeToHospitalParam.aspx page...

<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" Width="80px" MaxLength="7" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Submit" PostBackUrl="~/MAP/routeToHospital.aspx" + TextBox1.text />

The issue is when I try use the TextBox1.value (assuming that is correct) in the PostBackUrl which loads the other page.


Solution

  • You can do this

    In aspx change code to handle onclick event:

    <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Submit" 
    OnClick="Button1_OnClick" />
    

    In codebehind button click event redirect user with queryprameter:

    protected void Button1_OnClick(object sender, EvenArgs e)
    {
      Response.redirect("~/MAP/routeToHospital.aspx?RunNumber=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncode(TextBox1.text));
    }
