I pass variables to my ASPX page as shown....

myObject.Test = "TestMessage"
retVal =
showModalDialog(Test.aspx,myObject,"dialogWidth:900px;dialogHeight:500px;sta
tus:0");

I can get the value of test using client side javascript on test.aspx using
[window.dialogArguments], but is there a way to get the value of test on the
server using the Request object or other object?

Thanks in advance.

As long as it is a string value you can pass it in the query string
showModalDialog("Test.aspx?arg=" + escape(myObject.Test), myObject,
"...")
and then in Test.aspx you need to read
Request.QueryString["arg"]
(where the exact syntax for VB.NET is likely different)

Yes, I can pass on the querystring, but is this secure? What if I have
sensative data that I would like to pass?

Thanks,

Jim
