>Thank you very much for your input. What I don't understand is how to define properties of the class that will hold my page controls .Text values. I would like the routine to be generic and not hard coded to my specific page. That is, somehow scan all controls of the page and create a property in the "other" object class for each control the page has. If you have some tips on how to do it, I would appreciate it.

Hi Dmitry,

PMFJI, I'm a dotnet newby too, but here is one way to create a parameter object

Dim Params As IDictionary = New Hashtable
            Params.Add("UserID", dtUser.Rows(0)("User_ID"))
            Params.Add("SubmitterID", CStr(Session("SubmitterID")))
            Params.Add("XRefName", sXrefName)
            Params.Add("XRefLevel", dtSubscriber.Rows(0)("Responsibility_Sequence_No_Code"))
            Params.Add("TranType", CStr(Session("TranType")))

Reference it like this in the receiving method:

Dim sQuery As String = "spMtUpdateXRef " _
            & "'" & Params.Item("UserID").ToString _
            & "', '" & Params.Item("SubmitterID").ToString _
            & "', '" & Params.Item("XRefName").ToString _
            & "', '" & Params.Item("XRefLevel").ToString _
            & "', '" & Params.Item("TranType").ToString & "'" 

HTH,

Bruce
