Sessions between ASP Classic & ASP.NET

[afshar]

Hi everbody,
I've an old ASP classic application that uses sessions frequently. I
have added some new ASP.NET 2 new pages to that old application. How
can I interact with sessions that are made and used in ASP classic
pages? I think and heard that sessions in both ASPs reside on different
memory spaces.

They do. You can pass the data to a commonly-available database, or pass it
via QueryString from one sort of page to the other, or via form post. There
are other methods as well, all of which fall under the category of
"messaging."

Hi,

Here's a great workaround that lets you share your Session data between
ASP and ASP.NET using dynamic forms:

There's also a solution offered by Microsoft, which uses a shared SQL
Server to hold the Session state:

HTH,

You could use a 3rd party product such as this:

Or you can transfer values via a common database, or you can transfer values
between the two systems vai querystring, or posting hidden fields, etc.
Here's more information:

Thanking of all your replies, but I dont want my ASP Classic pages to
be changed. So I couldn't send information from Classic to .NET via
QueryString or any database solution. I think I can just create an
inetrmediate ASP Classic page that gets ASP Classic sessions normally
then send it to .NET pages with some of these ways.

Thanks All
