session variable

[erics55]

hi
in VS 2002 to create a session variable all i needed to do it declare it in the global.asax file and away we go. that doesnt seem to work in 2005, does anyone know why?
Thanks

You don't have to create a session variable in the global asax.. you can create it anywhere in code behind
Session("MyVar") = "This is my Session Variable")

Hi mate, thanks for your reply

I have added a session variable when my inital page opens and then tried to call it in a page that is opened later and the variable equals nothing.

is there anyting else i need to do?

I have now tried it in the same procedure

session("strTemp") = "xxx"
dim strX as string
strX = session("strTemp")

and strX = nothing at runtime

thanks for your time

instead of session("strTemp") = "xxx"

use: Session.Add("strTemp", "xxx")
