ASP.NET w/ VB Pass data in textbox on page into Labels on another page

The user enters data into 6 textboxes and then clicks continue. The data in the textboxes then pass to labels on another page. I have done this with a gridview and hyperlinkfields - not sure how to do this with textboxes.

This is sensitive information so query string would nto be the best choice from what I have read.

Any reason you wouldn't first save the data to the database, then on the label page, you load and display.

Yes - I dont want to save the data until the user has completed the second page. I just want to pass this info into the second page so that user can refer back to it if needed.

What about using PreviousPage? Is this secure?

If PreviousPage IsNot Nothing AndAlso PreviousPage.IsCrossPagePostBack Then
            Dim text1 As Textbox = CType(PreviousPage.FindControl("txtLast"), TextBox)


      If text IsNot Nothing Then
PtName.Text = text.Text
End If
End If

I think that'll work, however, I've not had much experience with it. In order to use that, your first page, is going to have to post to the second page. This is much different than the default behavior of asp.net pages, and if you haven't already configured that, you might be better off using the Session.

With the Session..is this on the users machine only? Meaning I could have 5 users accessing the same page at the same time - entering the same data.

Session is per-user, and it's stored on the server.
