How would you do this?

[Guest]

I am soliciting feedback on the best way to accomplish the following in
..NET... just a general idea of how you would meet the following business
requirements:

1. Results screen has checkboxes next to each transaction in a grid
2. User can click one or more checkboxes and then click a "view details" link
3. Popup frameset will be displayed - top frame has next and prev buttons
(nav frame) while bottom frame shows transaction details for 1st transaction
(dtl frame)
4. User can navigate back and forth thru all selected transactions in popup
using next and previous buttons [this requirement is what i am asking about]

I have done this in classic ASP using a javascript array of transaction id's
on the main page, with the popup frame accessing the array thru javascript
when the next and previous buttons are clicked. Being new to .NET, I'm not
sure whether or not this would be the preferred method.

Any responses would be appreciated... as much or as little information as
you can provide. Thanks in advance!

I would store an array of integers in the Session State. Then on each
postback, in the event handlers for the next and previous buttons, get
the next id or previous id whichever is needed.

check this out:

some info there on session state. theres more articles throughout msdn.

hope this helps!
