RE: Server page to page addressing

Peter,

Using the absolute address works.

Now that I can get to the page I want I can't get to the data I passed it.

In the Page_Load (....) method, of the target page, I try to get the
collection of name/value data that I passed it. The information is in the
Request.Parms okay but the instruction below that I used leaves the NameValue
Collection empty. At least as best I can determine its empty. Everything I
saw was 0 or null.

NameValueCollection coll = Request.QueryString;

The data in the Request.Parms follows. I'm only using the first 3 Name/Value
pairs the rest was added by the POST from the source page.

Any idea why the Request.QueryString instruction fails to fill the
collection???

Thanks, Neil
