ASP class-session variable

[Tammy B.]

Hiya - Big puzzler for me. Code Below
I create a class. I save it to a session variable.
Then, I retrieve the session variable back into a new local variable.
I am able to use a method which prints the name "Joey."

Works great.

But if I retrieve the same session variable into a local variable from a
different page, I cannot use the method. It fails.
Even though the session variable is an object, and the local variable is an
object!
Why? How can I get to this class from the second page?

thanks

<%
dim oTest

set oTest= new clsEmployee
oTest.EmployeeName="Joey"

set session("sessionTest")= oTest
set oTest= nothing

'This section works fine------------------------------
'But not from another page!
dim oNewTest
set oNewTest = session("sessionTest")
Response.Write "<br>Is oNewTest an object? " & isObject(oNewTest)
Response.Write "<Br>"
Onewtest.PrintEmployeeName
---------------------------------------

Class clsEmployee

Private m_strEmployeeName

Public Property Get EmployeeName
EmployeeName = m_strEmployeeName
End Property

Public Property Let EmployeeName (strEmployeeName)
m_strEmployeeName = strEmployeeName
End Property
Sub PrintEmployeeName
Response.Write EmployeeName
End Sub

End Class

I'm pretty sure you can't save VBScript classes into session variables and
expect them to be persisted. I think they are still accessible within the
context of the same ASP page but not when re-loaded to a different page.

M. Harris has posted about this on numerous occasions?

There really isn't any reason that storing your classes in session variables
shouldn't work, really, if you have just one application with that stored,
but I think that you should probably not store classes in session variables.

Hiya,

Would someone mind telling me what is wrong with the code, or why the code
doesn't work?

Thanks!!

Oh, nothing specific at the moment. I just put that there so when I ask
questions in the SQL group, hopefully people will be like, "ah, that guy
tries to answer questions in the ASP groups, so I'll give him a couple of
minutes to help him out with the SQL Server questions..." :]
