passing values from asp to asp.net through an html form

Hello experts,
I have some code like this

    response.write "<td><form method=post action=/adhoc/aspnet/user_maint.aspx name=frm"&cnt&">"
    response.write "<input type=hidden value="&oRS("network_account")&" name=network_account> "
    response.write "<input type=hidden value="&request.form("lname")&" name=lname> "
    response.write "<input type=hidden value="&oRS("employee_id")&" name=employee_id> "
    response.Write "<a href=javascript:document.frm"&cnt&".submit();><b>"&oRS("fullname")&"</b></a></form></td> "

Open in new window

How do I access those hidden values inside my user_maint.aspx page? This is not working.

    <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Text=request.form("employee_id")></asp:TextBox>

Open in new window

Then how do I pass those values back to asp? There is probably a much better way to do this. Thanks.

You need to make sure there is a value (other than blank) for that hidden element. Elements without values are not sent when the form is submitted. That's standard HTML procedure.

I was able to do this in Page_Load
Session["employee_id"] = Request.Form["employee_id"];

Is there a way to use the request.form just in the the aspx page without using the code behind?
Thanks.
