如何将全局字符串变量从ASP.NET页后面的C＃代码传递到经典ASP页？

Question

All, I am maintaining some old .ASP code for a website that requests a work order via email. The site worked properly until it was migrated recently to an IIS 7.5 Server. I had to recode the portion that does the file uploading in ASP.NET with C# code behind and am having trouble getting a String passed from new to old.

Previously, the .ASP code use the ASPupload component which, for sound reasons, is no longer supported on the new hosting Server. ASPupload used to pass the two uploaded filenames (via JavaScript as a Hidden Input value) to a section of the .ASP code that uses those filenames as a String (plus the path String that it already has). Then the .ASP code attaches the files to an email sent to the company fulfilling the work order.

I would like to take the new C# Global String Variable and pass it to the old .ASP code that does the emailing, since it still works like a charm.

I have evolved the Code Behind and ASP.NET on this question to reflect Manoj Kumar Sharma's excellent JavaScript that sends the C# Global String Variables to the ASP.NET code as a JavaScript Variable, which I was having trouble with initially. THANKS!!! And now we need to bridge the gap between the new ASP.NET code and the old .ASP code.

Here is the C# Code Behind (thanks for the edits Mason , it is now much easier to update this post):

. Here is the new ASP.NET which can see the filesnames as "upFileName1" and "upFileName2":

                </div>
            <% } %>
        </form>

<script type="text/javascript">

    var upFileName1 = '<%= this.UpFileName1 %>';
    var upFileName2 = '<%= this.UpFileName2 %>';

    ' The code behind filenames are now appearing in the ASP.NET
    document.write(upFileName1);
    document.write(upFileName2);

</script>

</body>
</HTML>

And now for the third requested piece, the old .ASP code. Please forgive it, I did not write it, but must maintain it (I am much more specific with variable names). First is a section that calls "Scott_upload.aspx" from an iframe inside of a order request form (note the old Hidden Input "UploadedFile" that ASPupload used to use):

<html>
<!-- ... -->
<body>
<!-- ... -->
<table class="tblw" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" ID="Table5">
<tr>
<form name="frmRequest" method="post" action="format_email.asp">
<!-- ... -->
    <table class="tblw" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center" ID="Table13">
    <tr>
        <input type="hidden" name="UploadedFile1" value="" ID="UploadedFile1id">
        <input type="hidden" name="UploadedFile2" value="" ID="UploadedFile2id">
        <td class="container" align="center">
            <iframe src="Scott_upload.aspx" width=520 height=140 name="upload" scrolling="yes" scrollbars="yes" frameborder="0" border="0" style="border:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;overflow:visible;">
            </iframe>
        </td>
    </tr>
    </table>
<!-- ... -->
    <input type="button" name="btn" value="REQUEST ORDER" class="submitbtn" onClick="validateForm();">
</tr>
</form>
</table>

<% Server.Execute %>

</body>
</html>

Now, the old uploading code that someone else wrote did this bit of JavaScript manipulation to the Hidden Input Value (inside yet another iframe, inside yet another form, IKR?!) which does NOT work in my .ASPX:

<script language="javascript">

<% If Count = 1 Or Count = 2 Then %>
window.parent.document.getElementById("UploadedFile1id").value = document.frmUpload.FileName1.value;
<% End If %>

<% If Count = 2 Then %>
window.parent.document.getElementById("UploadedFile2id").value = document.frmUpload.FileName2.value;
<% End If %>

</script>

Then in "format_email.asp" the filename Strings are assigned with this line:

strUpload1 = Trim(Request.Form("UploadedFile1"))
strUpload2 = Trim(Request.Form("UploadedFile2"))

How do I get "upFileName1" and "upFileName2" from the "Scott_upload.aspx" page to assign to "strUpload1" and "strUpload2" in the old "format_email.asp" page?

Answer 1

You could try this:

Declare the two variables as Properties of the Page (something like this):

public class Scott_upload : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    public string UpFileName1 { get; set; }
    public string UpFileName2 { get; set; }
...

Then in the .ASPX page, where you have your javascript code, embed the values into javascript variables (something like this):

<script type="text/javascript">

    var upFileName1 = '<%= this.UpFileName1 %>';
    var upFileName2 = '<%= this.UpFileName2 %>';

</script>

Hope this helps.
