accessing session and viewstate from custom web controls

[Agustin Sanchez]

I know it is possible to use Session and Viewstate objects from a Web User
Control, as it's almost the same as a standard aspx page. I'd like to know
if the same functionality is available from Custom Web Controls.

Thanks in advance.

The ViewState as with web user controls but your custom control just derives
from System.Web.UI.Control or perhaps System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebControl.
The control has it's own ViewState property (of type System.Web.UI.StateBag)
when this is fullfilled.

For the session you need to access via controls Context property. That is

Context.Session["key"]="value";

and so on
