Hi Betty,
If you're using ASP.NET 2.0 to build the web application, you can also
consider the following means:
1. Use the cross-page post back to post one webform page to another webform
page, thus, the form data on previous form can be forwareded to the next
form page through buildin means. Also, cross-page post allow us to access
control collection in previous page from target page.
#Cross-Page Posting in ASP.NET Web Pages

2. ASP.NET 2.0 provide a buildin Wizard web server control which can help
provide wizard/steps based work flow on single page. This is also a
possible approach(put all the input in single page).

Hope this also helps.
