How to retrieve a session Id in a VB Program ?

[robzot]

Hi,

I'm new at Citrix, so sorry if my question looks trivial.

I need to use in my VB application a unique Id
that identifies the a running session of Citrix

Is there any API call or environmemt variable that I can use for this purpose ?

The behaviour should be the following :

If I open a Citrix session in 2 different Client PCs
Then I run myVBProgram
I should be able to have 2 different unique Ids (one for each PC)
If I run 2 instances of myVBProgram from the same PC I should get the same Id in both.

I need also to know if the program is running in a Citrix session or on a stand-alone PC
How to find it out ?

Thanks a lot for your help

Robert

When you establish the session some environment variables are set which i think should do the trick.

Each sessions get a uniquie session name.

If you log in to a session and open a cmd prompt you will be able to see what they are.

if you "echo %SESSIONNAME%" you will see you session name which you should then be able to reference from the app.

Hope that helps!
