Read ASP 3 Session Data

[Thom Little]

I create session data in ASP 3 using ...
Session("sample") = "test"

I can extract the value on any ASP 3 page using ...
Demo = Session("sample")
.... until the session is terminated.

How do I extract the information in an .ASPX page using C#?

string Demo = Session["sample"] ;
.... is not the answer.

I am apparently missing some very obvious point (as is my nature
apparently).

Thom,
You'll need to Google for sharing session state between asp and ASP.Net.
It's a little too tricky to fit the ideas into a newsgroup post. You can't
do this automatically because classic ASP, and ASP.Net aren't handled by the
same methods so they're in different application spaces from eachother. So
you have to do some more fancy tricks to share an ASP session with an
ASP.Net session because, even though they have the same name and look the
same, they are two different mechanisms.

Hope this helps,

That supports the conclusion that I reached by experimentation. Due to my
limited vocabulary on the subject I did not know what to Google.

With your help I now have the answer.

My solution will be separate ASP 3 and ASP.NET environments and I will not
attempt to merge them.

Thanks for the help.

It works among ASP 3 modules. It works among ASP.NET modules. It cannot be
readily shared between an ASP3 and an ASP.NET module.

The two implementations seem to use very similar names for capabilities that
are different in each and not shared.
