I've created a handful of pages (with attached master files) and I want
to use session variables, but trying to access to the
Request["formvalues"] is really difficult.

<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="MasterPage.master"
AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="FirstPage.aspx.cs" Inherits="FirstPage"
Title="First Page" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1"
Runat="Server">

<asp:DropDownList ID="podiumdropDown" runat="server">
            <asp:ListItem Selected="True">No</asp:ListItem>
            <asp:ListItem>Yes</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" PostBackUrl="SecondPage.aspx"
UseSubmitBehavior="False" />

</asp:Content1>

on my second page i can't retrieve this value.....
i get Request["podiumdropDown"].ToString(); is null!!!!

SecondPage.aspx.cs

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
Session["podiumdropDown"] = Request["podiumdropDown"].ToString();

    }

You have to get the value from the DDL and then populate a Session variable
using that value. The value from the DDL doesn't jump into a Session
variable all by itself. Furthermore, you probably don't even need to use a
Session variable.

What is Request["poduimdropDown"]? Session variables use Session["<variable
name>"]. Are you looking to use Request.Form?
