Session from asp to aspx

[Meir Rudovsky]

I have asp page which has iframe to host aspx page. Since , the main
application (asp page) has session values , i need these values be passed
to aspx page in iframe. But, i found out that session cookies are not the
same.
Is there any way to pass session values from asp to aspx ?

You could share values in a common database, or pass values via javascript &
querystring.
The easiest way would likely be to use a third party product to handle it,
such as this one:

isn't using a shared database a little overkill ?

anyway, knowing that in cookies you can only store strings, the querystring
seems to be the best solution, eventough its length is limited

It's up to you to decide which technique fits best for your application, but
in general I'd say it is NOT overkill to use a database to share data
between separate (but related) software systems. In fact, that's one of the
main reasons databases were invented.
