sessions in ASP.NET vs ASP

[Bruno Alexandre]

could you help me in this issue, please?


in ASP I write/read sessions like


<% session("StartDateTime") = now() %>


<%=(session("StartDateTime"))%>



why I can't it use in ASP.NET ? I can't find any tutorial about it,
just the use of cookies, witch is a little different...

can you help me how to use the ASP session in ASP.NET pages? or how to
write/read session in ASP.NET page?


thank you in advance.

For the most part, it is the same as in classic ASP. Just prefix it with
"Context".

Classic ASP: session("StartDateTime")
ASP.NET: Context.Session("StartDateTime")

Hope this helps,
Antoni

Don't forget to cast it

an example would be

VB.NET
CType(Session("StartDateTime"), YourDataType))

C#.NET
(YourDataType)Session["StartDateTime"]
