ASP.NET session Variables

[Guest]

I save a session variable on page 1 and link to page 2. When page 2 loads,
the session variable is null. Can anyone help?

I'm using Visual Studio 2003 (VB)

Session settings in web.config

<sessionState
mode="InProc"
stateConnectionString="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424"
sqlConnectionString="data source=127.0.0.1;Trusted_Connection=yes"
cookieless="false"
timeout="20"
/>

Code on Page 1
Dim sesvar As String

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'Put user code to initialize the page here
sesvar = "Blank Statement"
Me.ShowSessionVar.Text = sesvar
End Sub

Private Sub SaveButton_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles SaveButton.Click
sesvar = "New Session Variable at " + Format(Now(), "dd/mm/yyyy
hh:mm:ss")
Me.ShowSessionVar.Text = sesvar
Session("SesMessage") = sesvar.ToString
End Sub


code on page 2
Dim P2sesvar As String

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'Put user code to initialize the page here
If Session("SesMessage") Is Nothing Then
P2sesvar = "Session Variable is Null"
Else
P2sesvar = Session("SesMessage")
End If
Me.P2SessionVar.Text = P2sesvar
End Sub

Hello,

I am not sure why arent you able to retrieve your sessions once have
added it. And i am sorry that i m too busy and cant add your code to
asp.net solution and try it my self. However I would like to suggest
you a following link at msdn that talks about ASP.NET state management
with Sessions:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconsessionstate.asp

You should be able to retrieve your session variables once you have
added them, unless and untill they time out or have been cleared
explicitly.
