Session variable is lost between ASP & ASP.NET pages

[Guest]

Hi folks,

I must be missing something here. I have an ASP page that I create a
Session variable in as follows.

Session ("name")="Joe"

In an ASP.NET page in the same project and the same session, I call the
Session variable as follows:

Dim str As String
str = Session("name")

When I do a Response.Write (str), nothing writes to the screen.

Any thoughts on what is happening here would be appreciated

Uhhhh....

Yeah , that is what it will do. It doesn't work like that.

You can check this out

but .... the thing surprising you, isn't surprising at all. They are
different technologies...
with nothing but the phrase "asp" in common.

Absolutely...

The seminal work on sharing session state between ASP and ASP.NET is :
