HELP: Session is empty!

[mrwoopey]

Hi,

I have a ASP.NET application with two frames (both are ASPX pages).
Once my app starts running, Session_Start fires in global.asax, like
it should. When I press a button within the top frame, it displays a
chart (OWC) in the bottom frame.

I am storing info in session variables in the top frame ASPX page. For
some reason the Session_Start fires a second time, which then wipes
out all of my Session variables! This second firing of the
Session_Start event only happens when I press the button in the top
frame to display the chart in the bottom frame.

How can I prevent Session_Start firing in global.asax the second time?

I've tried the following (which nothing works):

1. added a dummy session variable in the bottom frame (and the main
frame)
2. enableSessionState is true in all pages
3. in my web.config file under session state I have, "mode= "InProc""
and "cookieless="false""

Basically, how can I keep my Session (by not having Session_Start fire
a second time)?

Your help is appreciated. Please post.

Thanks,

Phin

PS

If for some reason I can't get around this, other than storing info in
a database or cookies, how else can I keep info that I need to access
later (during a session)? I read somewhere that you can use globals? I
tried it and it wouldn't save? How would that work? Can I write to the
cache? For any of these (or another method) please post. Thanks!

first, you don't have to post this to multiple newsgroups. what does the
post have to do with webservices newsgroup for example?

here's a link to help you understand the process

Sorry for posting to multiple newsgroups. Just needed an answer! The
reason why I posted to web services group was because I do have a web
service running that needs to access session variables.

Anyway, thank you for your link!
