How to use session variables?

I am unable to pass the values using session variables.
Here is what I tried thus far -

1. In the 1st program I have created a session variable called name
Session.Name= <the value I would like to pass>

2. In the next program how do I use it?

I tried a few things but it doesn't work.

Thanks for your help in advance.

You might want to try a few more. Session variables aren't the best way to
pass variables from page to page - they can quickly suck up your servers
resources, even in a very modest application.. You could use querystrings,
forms or storing your session state in a database.
Not probs.

CJM,

Thanks for the reply!
Where can I find the doc on creating and using session variables?
In our case resources isn't an issue (at least now).

Thank you,

The documentation for ASP is here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...f33a651779.asp

But there really isn't much to using session variables, as long as you
remember that they are application-specific. Check the documentaion to
clarify application boundaries. At its simplest, all pages in a virtual
directory belong to the same application.
