Dealing with a Large Number of Post Variables ASP.Net
<p>I am running into an issue where I have multiple forms with a number of controls on them (20-40).  The problem is that when I handle the postback, I need to put their values into variables and if they are not asp.net server controls (i.e select, input, etc...) I sometimes need to make sure they even exist.  So, if I have a plain html checkbox, which is unchecked, it will not be posted to the server and you need to check for its existence, before being able to get its value.  After that I need to pass them into a method to save to the database.  The method handles all my crud and business validation.  Setting this up is tedious at best and very time consuming.  What are people doing to handle this?  I am using ASP.Net 4.0 Web forms and VB.Net.  One thought was to pass the http context into the method and let the code in the method look for the values.  Still, doesn't seem that good of a solution.  Any advice would really be appreciated, since I know I am not the only one who has run into this problem.  Thanks in advance.</p>
