Session - ASP and ASP.NET

[Steve C. Orr [MVP, MCSD]]

There is no single great way to share session state between ASP and ASP.NET.
But that doesn't mean you don't have options.

Here are some common ways:
* Store the data in a common database
* Pass data from page to page on the QueryString
* Store the data in cookies
* Use a 3rd party session sharing component
(Here's one:

* Use COM Interop to provide an object that both sides can access that
handles the data.
Here's an example of the latter:

Classic ASP and ASP.NET do not share seesion or application data. You will
have to port the data back & forth yourself using any of several techniques
(cookies, database, querystring, hidden form field, etc.).

Also, Global.asa will still work with your classic pages but you will need a
global.asax to take advantage of the new events in .NET for the .NET pages.

I have an entire site build with ASP, and so using GLOBAL.ASA .
Now I'm writing some codes with ASP.NET, but I need to share some SESSION
variables.
1. Is it possible using only my GLOBAL.ASA? Or I will need another
GLOBAL.ASAX?

2. What is the best way to share the SESSION?

Thanks,
Gustavo

Yes, you will need global.asax as well
