Session in C# not holding value after post back

[need2progm]

I do this all day long at my job in vb.net.. very new to c#.

I set my session in If not post back....
Session["newCollection"] = newCollection;


Then try to refer to that session in a method...
SongCollection newCollection = new SongCollection();
Session.Contents["newCollection"] = newCollection;

//add to collection
newCollection.Add(aBrandNewSong);
//so I can do this
foreach (Song aSong in newCollection)
//add to grid
//the newly added object diaplay's the others are gone ?

My thought was syntax ...cuz I am so new to the c way of doing things

Session.Contents["newCollection"] = newCollection;

is backwards if you're trying to assign the session object to your local object. Should be:

newCollection = Session.Contents["newCollection"];

right to left assignment (same as vb)

I wasn't refering to the collection corectly .. right to left .. left to right... d--- one of these days I will learn.

This is what I did...

//set session
Session["newCollection"] = newCollection;
//refer to it in a click_event
SongCollection newCollection = (SongCollection)Session["newCollection"];
//add to collection
newCollection.Add(aBrandNewSong);
//loop and display in grid
foreach (Song aSong in newCollection)

Works great
