Maintaining information from one page to another

I'm relatively new to programming and I'm building a web site in Visual Studio .NET. Right now, I'm building an "Application" Page where the user will fill-in information and click a "Continue" button to fill out more information. I need the information from the first page to carry over to the second page, which will ultimately get written to a database and emailed.

My question is how to make the information carry over. It's my understanding that cookies are not big enough for the type of information that will be carried over (names, addresses, phone numbers, etc...) I'm guessing that caching is the next best option, but I don't know how to make the information cache.

Can anybody help me get started and/or give me better advice?

Thanks!

 

You can store the information in the session. Even though it uses cookies by default to keep track of the session key, the session information is actually stored in the server's memory.

Here's the tutorial introduction to using session states:
