Answer / leoiser

No.from my knowledge can not.Bcos viewstate life time is in
single page.So while going to another page first page
viewstate end already.

Answer / gurvinder singh

This is not possible using view state , however we can
acheive this by using session .View state has only page
scope.

Answer / vijaykumar

Yes.
View state is page specific; it contains information about
controls embedded on theparticular page. ASP.NET 2.0
resolves this by embedding a hidden input field
name,__POSTBACK . This field is embedded only when there is
an IButtonControl on thepage and its PostBackUrl property is
set to a non-null value. This field contains the viewstate
information of the poster page. To access the view state of
the poster page, you canuse the new PreviousPage property of
the page

Page poster = this.PreviousPage;

Then you can find any control from the previous page and
read its state

Label posterLabel =(Label)poster.findControl("myLabel");
string lbl = posterLabel.Text;

This cross-page post back feature also solves the problem of
posting a Form to multiplepages, because each control, in
theory, can point to different post back URL.

Answer / jayamala

I think its not possible using viewstate.To pass data from
one page to another we are using session variable.

Answer / ashutosh sharma

yes we can by sessions, server.transver

Answer / vipin agrawal

yes we can do it by cross page posting (cross page
viewstate)

here is the code:

Source page code:
----------------
public partial class ViewStateContainer : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ViewState["Page1"] = "Page1 ViewState";
Server.Transfer("AccessViewState.aspx");
}

/*StateBag class: This class is the primary storage
mechanism for all HTML and Web server controls.
It stores attribute/value pairs as strings associated
with the control. It tracks changes to these
attributes only after the OnInit method is executed for
a page request, and saves the changes
to the page's or control's viewstate.*/
public StateBag ReturnViewState()
{
return ViewState;
}

}

Target page code:
----------------

public partial class AccessViewState : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (PreviousPage != null)
{
if (PreviousPageViewState != null)
{
Label1.Text = PreviousPageViewState
["Page1"].ToString();
}
}
Response.Write(((Label)PreviousPage.FindControl
("Label1")).Text);

}

private StateBag PreviousPageViewState
{
get
{
StateBag returnValue = null;
if (PreviousPage != null)
{
Object objPreviousPage = (Object)
PreviousPage;
MethodInfo objMethod =
objPreviousPage.GetType().GetMethod
("ReturnViewState");
return (StateBag)objMethod.Invoke
(objPreviousPage, null);
}
return returnValue;
}
}

}

Answer / prasad bakshi

This is VERY MUCH POSSIBLE to access viewstate on another
page. This is only possible when you use SERVER.TRANSFER

Try this out.

Create a textbox control on page1.aspx and have a button.

Onclick of button put this code in page load event of
Page2.aspx.

/*****************************************************/
Page Poster = this.PreviousPage;

TextBox txtNewTest = (TextBox)Poster.FindControl("txtTest");

sDisplay = txtNewTest.Text;

Response.Write(sDisplay);
/*****************************************************/
