Maintaining Page State between different pages

[Paul Say]

This is the case I have several pages that together allow the user to drill
down, eg Jobs,Sub Job, Task

On the Job, the job details are displayed in a datagrid which the user can
sort,page through, filter and select an active row.(each other page has the
same functionality). What I want to know is what would be the best practice
to retain the state of the datagrid as in the filter and selected row etc,
when returning from the drill down. Currently I am passing all variables
through a query string, storing them in the child pages state and then
including them in the return query string.... Is there a better method???


Thanks

I agree with Bill that session state would likely be the best way.
