Session variable question

[Amy]

Hello,

I'm having an odd issue with accessing a Session variable on a web
form.
If i access it from the PageLoad event, it works fine. If I take it
out of the PageLoad event, I get the error -
"an object reference is required for the nonstatic field, method, or
property "System.Web.UI.Page.Session'"

Can anyone explain why this is happening?

thanks in advance,

Amy

Amy,

Without seeing your code, it's impossible to tell. Can you show the
code you are getting the compiler error on?

you are most likely trying to access the variable outside of the page
context. You should use the Httpcontext.current qualification instead of the
page class qualification.
