test session exist

[Green]

Hi,
I want to test whether a sesion exist, what can i do?
I use Session["name"].toString().length == 0 , but it will prompt the
error saying object is not referenced. How can i test Session["name"]
exist?

Thanks in advance!

Test it against null.
And as in your example, when it is null, it will complain with the given
error message.

First, check for the existance of the item in the session state collection
before accessing its properties:

if (Session["name"] == null)
{
// name does not exist in the Session state collection.
}
else
{
// Access Session["name"] here...
}

Hope I got the question correctly.

And BTW, on the server side, the Session ALWAYS exists - unless it takes
longer than 20 minutes for the Page to process. Just want to make sure
there's no confusion between the Session Collection and its members.
