Getting value on a custom webpart from another custom webpart on a page

Question

We have a SharePoint page which contains one visual webpart(vw1) which is displaying few values(id,name,address) on it. Now i need to add one more custom webpart(vw2) and which should get the value "name" from the vw1 webpart - so it can be displayed on vw2. How can this be achieved?

Answer 1

Its called Connecting Web Parts...

Have a look at:
ConnectWeb Parts in SharePoint 2010
And

Answer 2

Another alternative since you are on Sharepoint Enterprise is to use a filter to pass data from VW1 to VW2.
