Session.Add method - what if called multiple times with the same k

[Guest]

I wonder what is happening if you subsequently use the session.add method
with the same key, but different values.

e.g. if I do;
session.add("MyVar", "a")
session.add("MyVar", "b")

then; session("MyVar").tostring will return "b"

Is the value you are adding ("b") simply replacing the olde value ("a")
If so, should the name of the method then not be something like session.set,
because you are not actually adding anything.

Can't find anything about this in the documentation. Some explaination is
appreciated.

Hi,

I believe it is because of MS wants to reduce the number of
properties/methods etc.,
and It makes sense when assuming that Session is a memory area ( like a
container)
where you will add up all your values. "Set" sounds to be setting some thing
with determined manner.

Hope, this makes sense

Cheers!
