session in a vb class file

[gagz]

ok, so i finally made the switch to VisualStudio. Now i'm trying to create a class that creates a session for me. here it is so far:

Imports System.Web
Public Class userSession

    Sub CreateSession()

        ' make sure the cookie exists before reading from it.
        If Not (System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies("BusinessMeetings") Is Nothing) Then
            Session("userid") = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies("BusinessMeetings")("userid")
            Session("UserName") = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies("BusinessMeetings")("UserName")
            Session("PassWord") = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies("BusinessMeetings")("PassWord")
            Session("FirstName") = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies("BusinessMeetings")("FirstName")
            Session("LastName") = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies("BusinessMeetings")("LastName")
            Session("Address1") = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies("BusinessMeetings")("Address1")
            Session("Address2") = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies("BusinessMeetings")("Address2")
            Session("City") = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies("BusinessMeetings")("City")
            Session("State") = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies("BusinessMeetings")("State")
            Session("Country") = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies("BusinessMeetings")("Country")
            Session("ZipCode") = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies("BusinessMeetings")("ZipCode")
            Session("Position") = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies("BusinessMeetings")("Position")
            Session("Company") = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies("BusinessMeetings")("Company")
            Session("Industry") = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies("BusinessMeetings")("Industry")
            Session("PhoneCC") = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies("BusinessMeetings")("PhoneCC")
            Session("PhoneNum") = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies("BusinessMeetings")("PhoneNum")
            Session("FaxCC") = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies("BusinessMeetings")("FaxCC")
            Session("FaxNum") = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies("BusinessMeetings")("FaxNum")
        End If

    End Sub

End Class

it keeps saying that 'session' is not declared, but i cannot for the life of me figure out what to preface it with?

gagz,

You were very close! You already had all the code you need on the page

Use the same context reference for session as you do for request:

System.Web.httpContext.Current.Session("userid&quot = System.Web.httpContext.Current.Request.etc.etc.etc...
