Hello all,
I am trying to pass data between two files using POST method.
I am using Visual Studio 2008 and working in C# Environment to run this in ASP.net.

The code i am using is:
sareeweb.aspx

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true"  CodeFile="sareeweb.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title>Untitled Page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" action="logink.aspx" method="post" runat="server">
    <div>
     
Name <input type="text" name="Name"/>
Age <input type="text" name="Age"/>
<input type="submit" />
 
    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

logink.aspx

<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="logink.aspx.cs" Inherits="logink" debug="true"%>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
    <title>Untitled Page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
    <%
        string name, age;
        
name = Request.Form["Name"];
age = Request.Form["Age"];
Response.Write(name);
Response.Write(age);
%>


    </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

This is all what i am using and i keep getting errors on logink.aspx

Errors:
Server Error in '/sareeweb' Application.
Validation of viewstate MAC failed. If this application is hosted by a Web Farm or cluster, ensure that <machineKey> configuration specifies the same validationKey and validation algorithm. AutoGenerate cannot be used in a cluster.
