HELP!

[Mike Trebilcock]

Can anybody tell me when this code:

Select Case Mode

Case "TCM"

Trace.Write("TIGER.MainPage.PageLoad", "Calling TCMScreen")

TCMScreen()

Case "TIGER"

Trace.Write("TIGER.MainPage.PageLoad", "Calling TIGERScreen")

Case "ADMIN"

Trace.Write("TIGER.MainPage.PageLoad", "Calling AdminScreen")

Case Else

Trace.Write("TIGER.MainPage.PageLoad", "Session Lost")

Response.Redirect("Login.aspx")

End Select

Works when I use this code to fill the Mode variable

Dim Mode As String = "TCM"

But not work when I fill it with a session varible even though it has (I
believe) exactly the same value stored:

Dim Mode As String = Session("Mode")



I am begining to loose what little sanity I have left any advice would be
gratefully received

Hello Mike,

Without knowing for sure what error you are encountering, I would suggest
that you check that Session("Mode") is not null.

Secondly, Id make sure that the Session("Mode") value is of the correct case.
I believe that VB string comparisons are case-sensitive, but Im not sure.

A session variable = nothing at page initlization, so you'll need to set a
default value for the session variable.

The Session variable is set by the login page which gets the mode the
website should be operating in from a sql server when it authenticates the
user.

When I look at the Trace.axd the session variable correctly contains the
string "TCM". When the select statement evaluates the string it always ends
up going to the case else branch.
