Asp.net pass field values

I am asking the following question since this is the first few C# asp.net 2010 web form pages I am working with at my company. My problem is I want to pass the value of orgName from the code listed below to a new web page called Next_Page.aspx as a session variable. The problem is by the time I get to the method called 'submit_button', I do not have the value of 'orgName' any longer. Thus can you tell me what I need to do to have the value of 'orgName' obtain from the 'FindOrg' available to the 'submit_button' method? If the value or orgname is within the (object sender, EventArgs e) of the SubmitButton method can you tell me how to access this value?

The code listed below is all from the same web page called first.aspx.cs.

The following is the current code:

protected void FindOrg(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
String strOrgSql = "";
String orgName = txtOrgName.Text.Trim();

}
catch (Exception ex)
{
//do something

}

}

protected void submit_button(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{

want orgname value here

Session["orgname"] = orgname;
Response.Redirect("~/Next_Page.aspx");

}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// do something

}

}

That's right.

Session is a global object for storing data for a particular user session which can be accessed from anywhere in your code.

Other global objects include Application and Cache though these apply to data shared by all user sessions rather than a particular user session.

So you can set session state within the .cs code to it can be passed to other sections for processing? (I am asking that question since I am new to working with C#.asp.net 2010.)

If it's certain that FindOrg will have been called before the submit button is pressed, then I'd add orgName to sesssion state in the former rather than the latter method:

protected void FindOrg(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
String strOrgSql = "";
String orgName = txtOrgName.Text.Trim();
Session["orgname"] = orgName;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
//do something
}
}

protected void submit_button(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
// if you need to use orgName here
string orgName = (string)Session["orgname"];
// do something with orgName
Response.Redirect("~/Next_Page.aspx");
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
// do something

}

}
