hi It is depending on Situation. you have also Page.PreviousPage property. with the help of this you can find value of previous page. for example..... TextBox tb = (TextBox)PreviousPage.FindControl(Text1); Please refer http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.page.previouspage.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/6c3yckfw(v=vs.85).aspx hope this will help you.

i think after postback your textbox value getting clear if that the reason then assign the session value to the textbox after post back. ex- consider a button click event protected void Button1_Click(object sender EventArgs e) { TextBox1.Text=Session[name].ToString(); } and if you call the clear text box method in page load put it within if (!Page.IsPostBack) { TextBox1.Text=string.Empty; } so on every poatback it will not get cleared. if not solved provide your source code
