Background:
-------------
The idea started as a single sign on type of application. Having tested it
before, I knew we could institute single sign on using the same
Authentication Cookie name (in this case "Authentication Cookie" -- yeah,
original, I know) and the same machine keys for the applications.
<authenticati on mode="Forms">
<forms name="Authentic ationCookie" path="/"
loginUrl="login .aspx" protection="All " timeout="10" />
</authentication>
<machineKey
validationKey=" C50B3C89CB21F4F 1422FF158A5B42D 0E8DB8CB5CDA174 2572A487D9401E3 4
00267682B202B74 6511891C1BAF47F 8D25C07F6C39A10 4696DB51F17C529 AD3CABE"
decryptionKey=" 8A9BE8FD67AF697 9E7D20198CFEA50 DD3D3799C77AF2B 72F"
validation="3DE S"
/>
When a user logs into one application, they can move back and forth between
apps. And, the user uses the same session ID in both applications (confirmed
by output of session ID), so it appears as if he is just moving from section
to section in a single app, rather than moving back and forth between
multiple apps. Everything is fine and beautiful ... until today.
The Problem
-------------
I have a colleague who sets up everything in session variables. As his app
is complete already, moving away from Session variables will be too time
consuming to be a realistic solution. The problem is you cannot share
application variables across app boundaries like so:
APP 1: Session["PassedID"] = UserID;
APP 2: UserID = Convert.ToDecim al(Session["PassedID"]);
The one clue I have is the error messages states something about the wrong
namespace, which suggests to me that the namespace has to be used to pull
the variable. This would mean that there is another syntax to pull Session
vars, otther than:
UserID = Convert.ToDecim al(Session["PassedID"]);
In a nutshell: I need basic syntax to pull from same session, different
application (namespace).
My other ideas:
1. Store to some form of temporary persistant storage (XML File, SQL table,
et al) and use Session ID to pass information back and forth.
2. Try the Caching Application Block and see if the Framework allows cross
application use of information.

How about using SQL Server to store the Sessions, and then you should be
able to execute queries to get the Session values from the other app?

That is the direction I pushed: Create an object with 'void
SetSessionItem( string SessionID, string Key, string Value)', 'string
GetSessionItem( string SessionID, string Key)' and 'DataSet
GetAllSessionIt ems(string SessionID)'. You can then store in any persistant
storage (in this case Oracle, which is the client's standard).
The other developer still wants to set
'Session["AlltheStuffICa nStickInSession "] = someGarbage;' in one app and
then use 'Object someGarbage = Session["AlltheStuffICa nStickInSession "] ' on
the second app. So, if anyone figures out a way to solve this, I would love
a heads up.

I have a wild idea. how about this:
iterate thru the running applications on the webserver. this will bring back
a list of the running apps. get the attached application object assigned to
each app. with the application object, get the httpcontext object associated
with this, and on down thru to the session object. This is a similar
approach to finding a control in a page, except that it would be starting
with a running application.
There is one fly in the ointment. Classes and the methods are private, so
you could try changing the class specifier to public instead of private.
ya, i know. it's very ugly. but that would conceivably get you passed the
access issue without having to add new code to a completed project. i have
no idea if this will work or if it even makes sense, it's just a thought
requiring a brazen hack. but then again, you are an MVP.

Hi,
I was of the understanding that Session variables were GLOBALLY scoped
across all Applications on a specific web site and that data obtained and
stored in "variables" were available for other applications - it seems I was
wrong.
It appears that the data is held on a per-application instance ie. Each
applications data is "sand-boxed" from other apps and cannot be referenced.
