Asp Session state ??

[Ron Vecchi]

I'm pretty new to asp.

It seems that I am assigning to the session rather than comparing against.
I want to compare it in the first peice of code but it seems that I am
assigning to it. When the user first requests the page they are not a
member.


Heres my code:


If(Session("IsMember") = "True") then
'Do Nothing
End if

'should still not be True

If(Session("IsMember") = "True") then
Response.write("IS TRUE")
End If

'Response.write is working telling me that the first part of the code
assigned to the session
'Am I doing something wrong??

Try this:

Dim isMember
isMember = Session("IsMember")

If isMember = True then

Else

End If

b.t.w. Your code should work normally. Maybe the issue is with "True"
(String) instead of True (boolean)

Insert these lines at the top of your ASP page:
<%
Response.Write("Session Variable Value: " & Session("IsMember"))
%>

If you dont see anything next to the above sentence then your assumption is
correct. If not, your assumption is wrong and you are setting the session
variable somewhere.

You are using serverside asp vbscript using far to much brackets and
using true as a string, not as a boolean.

Try:

=== /file1.asp:

<%
Session("IsMember") = True
%>

=== /file2.asp:

<%
If Session("IsMember") then
Response.write "'IsMember' IS TRUE<br>"
Else
Response.write "You are an intruder !<br>You skipped file1.asp"
End if
%>
