What you describe looks like a single application that
you have unnecessarily broken into two different parts.
Basically, you should not run your modules as separate
applications, but as subdirectories of your main application.
You need to review, carefully, the process described
in this KB, to see if you are setting up your project
in a way which will allow sharing session information :
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;307467
Alternately, you might want to consider not using the built-in session
and application objects and, instead, writing your own classes and
exposing the properties you need, serializing to/from XML,
as Samuel Matzen suggests :
