Server.Transfer. You can either stuff values in the HttpContext before transferring or refer to the previous page once transferred.

Answer 3

I would put the data that you want available on the different pages into a context cache:

Context.Cache.Add(CacheName,
                    CacheData,
                    null,
                    System.Web.Caching.Cache.NoAbsoluteExpiration,
                    new System.TimeSpan(0, 30, 0),
                    System.Web.Caching.CacheItemPriority.High,
                    null);

I'm usually concatenating the data into a delimited string before I add it to the cache and identify the cache based on a user id and it's purpose.
