Session variables in Application_onError

[vwhite]

Hello all,

I have a procedure in Application_onError in the global.asax file that sends an email to the Administrator and then redirects to an error page.

In the email it also sends some information that has been retreived from session variables.

This used to work fine. Now it doesn't - the only thing I can think of that has changed is that we upgraded from .NET 1.1 to 2.0

This is how I am accessing the session variables
Dim ClientID as string = HttpContext.Current.Session("client_id")

And this is the error message I get
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Can anyone help with this problem?

Thanks

I am back

I am still trying to fix this issue

HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(HttpContext.Current.Session)

shows nothing

and

HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(HttpContext.Current.Session.Count & "<BR>")

gives the
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

error.

Don't know if you are still able to help at all?

cheers

i found this

http://www.syncfusion.com/FAQ/aspnet/WEB_c9c.aspx#q45q

which states that the session object is not available in the Application_OnAuthenticateRequest handler inside global.asax.

I wonder if it is the same for the application_onerror event?
