From inside of Page 2 you could use your code below. Make sure your DataSet is small. You don't want to use up too many resources.

>>string YourString = Session["MyString"];

>>{
>>	string Page2str = (string)Session["MyString"];
>>	// code to process the value of the string here
>>}

>>

>>The other approach is to use a querystring when calling Page 1 from Page 2. This can only be done when the string would always be less than 255 characters.
>>
>>in Page 2:
>>

>>//set the URL string to call for Page 1
>>string Page1url = "Page1.aspx?mystring=" + "your string contents";
>>

>>
>>in Page 1:
>>

>>string Page2str = Request.QueryString(["mystring"]);

>>>Hi,

>>>ff:
>>>
>>>Page1.aspx --> is my main PAGE
>>>
>>>Page2.aspx --> the popup web form...
>>> --> has a public property of STRNAME AS STRING
>>>
>>>i want to retrieve the value of Page2.aspx from Page2.aspx after the window close of Page2.aspx..
>>>
