storing data

Greg McDaniel

I'm not a professional programmer and new to c# and hoping to find a little direction.

I have a multi dimensional data array which I get from third party using their API and then populate a listbox with the data using listbox.datasource and databind() which is fine but when a selectedindexchange event post back to the page the array is now empty so I need a way to store the data instead of constatly making api calls. I know that I can create an xml file but dont want to have to delete and rewrite all entries when the data is refreshed.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Greg

Friend,

you Should use session to Store the Data that you retrieved by API

suppose you getting array int a[5] from API

then Store it in Session like below

Session["Data"] = a;

and Retrive it like below code

int[] x = (int[])Session["Data"];

so Now you dont have to call the Api Again you can directly Retrive From Session :)
