Having trouble getting a Session variable's value

Hi everyone, I have an .aspx file that is used by an external program to perform a function. There is no code behind, all code and HTML is contained in one file.

the structure is like this:

<% string strBlah = Request.Querystring("jdkfsd");

string userid = Convert.ToString(HttpContext.Current.Session["UserID"]);


// more variables assigned from query string

%>

<html>
code here
</html>


The variables that are retrieving data from the QueryString are working great, but for some reason I can not get the value in my session variable.

I can not change the format of this file, so, I'm kinda stuck there.

Does anyone have any idea of how I can get the Session variable value into struserid?

Thank you in advance for the help,

I'm assigning the value when a person logs in. This page is accessed after a person logs in and the variable is set. I use the above syntax to access the value of the Session variable in other places and it works just fine.

Are you sure the session variable isn't holding a blank string and that it's definitely set to something at this point?
