passing values between controls

Hi all, learning the asp.net is a slow process... but I am plodderign
along. I have hit a bit of a snag - I have 4 pages of code here...
control1.ascx
control2.ascx
default.asx... default.asx.vb

relevant details (i think) on default.asx:
<uc1:ProductList ID="ProductList1" runat="server"
OnPreRender="getSelectedProduct" />
<uc2:ProductDetails ID="ProductDetails1" runat="server" /
on default.asx.vb:
Protected Sub getSelectedProduct(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs)
Response.Write("TEST: " & ProductList1.selectedProduct())
End Sub

To this point the system actually works. When i select a product in the
1st User Control, it is displayed on the main page, however, I need to
take this one step further... base what happens in UC2 on what has
happened in UC1.

what would I type in UC2, to reference to get the value of the
selection in UC1 ?You need to think of your user controls as objects...

and as an object, it can expose properties, read and/or write properties.

public string PropertyOfUserControl1
{
get {return "this could be a member variable";}
}

Then you can read the property from uc1, and set a property of uc2.

uc2.PropertyOfUserControl2 = uc1.PropertyOfUserControl1;

If the code behind of uc2...you need to deal with the property you set.

Passing Variable to new Page

How do I pass a string to a new page.

For example I want to have a person enter their name and hit submit.
After hiting submit, the name is entered into a database and a confirmation page with the person's name is dislayed.

How do I do this?The simplest way, is with a querystring - -

response.redirect ("newpage.aspx?name=" & txtName.text)

Then, in the new page, just capture the querystring:

Dim sName as string
sName=request.querystring

From there, you can use the variable 'sName' anywhere you'd like on the page, as long as it's dimmed globally to the page (outside any events)
If u want the variable to be used only in one page Querystring is the best choice.If u want to hold the value for many pages, use Sessions.
Thanks,
Kumar.
Thanks. It's perfect.
Okay...I'm dumb..where do I declare the variable Dim strName?
I'm using Webmatrix. Do I delare them in the at the to of the html code or from the code section?

eg.<%declare here%>
in the code section...

Dim strName as string = Request.QueryString("Vari1")
