Passing values between pages

Hello everyone, I am very new to ASP.NET and in fact I am working on my first real project and I am in need to some assistance.

I want to pass values from one page to another after clicking on a button and get the values in the page_load routine of the called page.

Can someone tell me how to do this?

Presently my code looks something like this:

Coding of the button click event
I have declared a hidden field on page 1 and called it hidMerchantName, in the click event I am doing the following:

hidMerchantName.Value = dMerchantName.Text
Server.Transfer("~/Statements.aspx", True)

Now on page 2 I want to be able to get the value of hidMerchantName

If you guys also have a better way of passing values please let me know
