ASP.NET - What is the easiest generic way to save form data and retrieve it when the user navigates back to the page? -
what easiest way save form data , retrieve when user navigates page?
we have application process consists of several web forms. if user clicks go step auto-populate fields. assuming there common generic way without having mess individual controls - it?
put forms on same page , enable viewstate.
that is, instead of using 3 distinct pages, use single page has panels each of virtual "pages." keep track of page user on (with viewstate-managed property), , show/hide forms appropriate page.
the next/back controls should post , increment/decrement current page.
since it's same form, , it's posting itself, viewstate persist field values automatically.
the thing won't work if click browser's "back" button. block using window.onbeforeunload prevent it.
