Problem with sessions and hidden fields

[TheViper]

This is probably simple enough but it has stumped me. I have a session which holds the username however when I try to put it in a hidden field all I get is the code not the username what am I doing wrong?

Here is the code for the hidden field

<asp:HiddenField ID="myString" runat="server" value='<% =Session.Item("name") %>' />

ok, well need just a bit more than that Where do you set the session value? If you are putting this in session I would assume the name key is set on another page or an asp.net module and then accessed on this page. another question, did you disable session?
