How to add array values to hidden fields in asp.net

I Have situation  need to store an array of string in a HiddenField in my web form with asp.net.

But It was Generally Not Possible to Do , But we have different methods to Achieve this here the methods check once

Previous Post  I was Explained about the   Fileupload show selected file in label when file selected ,  Show jQuery UI Dialog Popup Window from Server Side ( Code Behind ) in ASP.Net , How to use the window.open()  method ,  CONFIRMATION BOX WITH YES NO BUTTONS USING AJAX MODAL POPUP EXTENDER IN ASP.NET , Dynamic Theme Switching - Creating User-Selectable Themes



Probably a few methods would work.

1) Serialize the String[] in JSON

This would be fairly easy in .NET using the JavaScriptSerializer class, and avoid issues with delimiter characters. Something like:

String[] myValues = new String[] { "Red", "Blue", "Green" };
string json = new JavaScriptSerializer().Serialize(myValues);

2) Come up with a delimiter that never appears in the strings

Delimit each string with a character such as ||| that will never appear in the string. You can use String.Join() to build this string. Something like:

String[] myValues = new String[] { "Red", "Blue", "Green" };
string str = String.Join("|||", myValues);

And then rebuild it like:

myValues = str.Split(new string[] { "|||" }, StringSplitOptions.RemoveEmptyEntries);

This might be the best option if you can trust your input, such as a series of numbers of pre-defined choices. Otherwise, you'd probably want to check your input strings to make sure they don't contain this delimiter if you wanted to be very safe. You could potentially use HttpUtility.HtmlEncode() to escape each string first.
 
I have a byte array. I need to assign it to a hidden filed and retrieve the result.How to achieve this?


You'll need to store it in the hidden field as a string, so you could do:

hiddenField.Value = Convert.ToBase64String(data);

And then convert it back later:

byte[] data = Convert.FromBase64String(hiddenField.Value);

It would be a bit more thorough if you could provide an example of the data, too.

How to hide url parameters in asp.net

There are different ways to Hide the URL in asp.net , you can choose any one from bellow options . Previously I was Explained about the  Difference between Convert.tostring and .tostring() method Example  ,   Reasons to use Twitter Bootstrap , How to Register AJAX toolkit in web.config file in asp.net a) Using Post Method b) Using Of Session . c) URL Encoding & decoding process . d) Using Server.Transfer() instead of Response.Redirect() method (1)Use a form and POST the information. This might require additional code in source pages, but should not require logic changes in the target pages (merely change Request.QueryString to Request.Form). While POST is not impossible to muck with, it's certainly less appealing than playing with QueryString parameters. (2)Use session variables to carry information from page to page. This is likely a more substantial effort compared to (1), because you will need to take session variable checking into account...

ASP.NET Routing

ASP.NET routing enables you to use URLs that do not have to map to specific files in a Web site. Because the URL does not have to map to a file, you can use URLs that are descriptive of the user's action and therefore are more easily understood by users. The ASP.NET MVC framework and ASP.NET Dynamic Data extend routing to provide features that are used only in MVC applications and in Dynamic Data applications. For more information about MVC, see ASP.NET MVC 3 . For more information about Dynamic Data, see ASP.NET Dynamic Data Content Map . In an ASP.NET application that does not use routing, an incoming request for a URL typically maps to a physical file that handles the request, such as an .aspx file. For example, a request for http://server/application/Products.aspx?id=4 maps to a file that is named Products.aspx that contains code and markup for rendering a response to the browser. The Web page uses the query string value of id=4 to determine what type of c...
