Passing data to another project

[Vik]

From a Web page, I need to open another page created in another project and
pass some object (a database connetion) to that page. Looks like the second
project has its own Application and Session states.

Thanks.

I am curious as to why you would want to do that?

You should never persist a connection, much less "pass" one

Vik,
Seems a bit strange, but you could certainly pass a connection string on the
querystring to the other app and have its respective page read it back out,
then open the same connection using the connection string.

I do not recommend passing a precious database connection to another
application even if its possible, which I kind of doubt.
You could pass a connection string via post or querystring, but if the
connection string has a password in it then that would be a big security
no-no.
It would be better to pass a connection string server side if possible,
perhaps through a shared file or database.

That is why the connectionstrings are in the web.config really -- I am still
not sure why there is a need for "sharing" of db connection

I developed a Web page, which allows performing some standard operations on
the different tables (with the identical structure). I want to call this
page from the different Web applications connected to the different
databases.
Now I have a copy of that common page in every application but I try to make
a separate project for this page and share it among the applications.
I don't want to pass the connection string in the querystring. I may also
need to pass other objects (not strings).

Looks like you need a "class library" not a page -- the class library can
have your common code and it can referenced to any web project you like.

I use class libraries. But in this case I need not only the code but the
common page with UI .

Good point! Which prompted me to write up this article and sample code for
obfuscating the querystring:

You will need to include this page in your project
