I'm currently in the process of transforming a classis ASP web application to Asp.net
THe application is relatively simple, it is a 3-page web application.
Page 1: enter info into textboxes (time, date, name, name, name, yadda yadda yadda), some radio buttons, some checkbox choices, etc.
Page 2: Given the choices made on page one (if Checkbox 1 was clicked, then display categories pertaining to checkbox 1, etc.) and the info input in page one, all of this is displayed here, on page 2, along with new radio buttons and checkboxes, more textboxes, etc. perhaps 100 total or so.
Page 3: Everything is summarized and then entered into a DB
My question is the following:
I have been working on transforming everything from the old asp application to .net
Anyway, I got the session variables for the checkboxes, radio buttons (using checkboxlists and radiobuttonlists as these can be easily saved into an arraylist in a session variable), textboxes info, etc, etc, etc.
Suddenly, my peer tells me it is best to dump all the info into ONE PAGE with multiple forms, two of each forms hidden at a time... only one form displayed at once... behavnig like an individual page (each form simulating a page)... that way, we would not deal with session variables!
I had not thought of that, but something tells me that is not the correct approach... besides, dumping everything into one page would be A LOT OF CODE!!!!
Who is correct or what would be the right approach for this?
Thank you!
