Session variables

[MikeMCSD]

How would update a Label on a User Control (.ascx.vb file) with a Session variable from another User Control as that variable is changed?

I want to update the shopping cart total at the top of the page (a Header as a User Control) when
"Add to Cart" is clicked from another control:

Session("total") = String.Format("{0:c}", cart.amt)

Then I want the Label in the other control (Header) updated
as soon as it is changed from the other control:

total.Text = Session("total")

Can this be done?
Thanks

to make the update real-time you need a post back to the server or a bit of JavaScript. depending whether you want another round trupt to the server or not for each update you will use one sollution or the other

if you decide upon posting the data back to the server, you should do fine with what you wrote in your post.

if you need to use this on client side, you would need to use something like
document.getElementById("total").value = document.getElementById("cart").value;

assuming that the id of total is total and that of cart is cart
