Having trouble getting at the value of a Session variable

Hi everyone, I have an .aspx file that is used by an external program to
perform a function. There is no code behind, all code and HTML is contained
in one file.

the structure is like this:

<% string strBlah = Request.Queryst ring("jdkfsd");

string userid =
Convert.ToStrin g(HttpContext.C urrent.Session["UserID"]);
// more variables assigned from query string

%>

<html>
code here
</html>
The variables that are retrieving data from the QueryString are working
great, but for some reason I can not get the value in my session variable.

I can not change the format of this file, so, I'm kinda stuck there.

Does anyone have any idea of how I can get the Session variable value into
struserid?

Thank you in advance for the help,
tperri

The question is, why do you expect "UserID" to be stored in the session?
Where was it set in the first place?

You mention the page is used by an 'external program', if it's making web
requests to your page in code, is it using a cookie store to enable session
tracking? Or am I not understanding this?

Hello all, I am writing a script where I need to use the system() function to call htpasswd. I can do this just fine on the command line...works great (see attached file, test.php). When my webserver runs that part of the script (see attached file, snippet.php), though, it doesn't go through. I don't get an error message or anything...it just returns a "1" (whereas it should return a "0") as far as I can tell. I have read the PHP...

Hi again, I save a fairly small xmlDocument to a single db field, xDoc.OuterXML using a SQL insert statement...this works fine. However, I then need to select that field (xmlWF) into an xmlDocument to add nodes, etc., but haven't found the correct way. I've also tried just saving it as a session variable, but still get errors when I try to use it, so I know I'm doing something wrong!

Hi, We have a simple ASP.NET web application where one of the Session variables, called Session("SSO_ID") gets created and assigned a value (equal to the HTTP_HRID request variable value), inside the Session_Start event of the global.asax.vb file, since this variable is accessed by almost all the pages in the project. Besides this variable, there are other session variables which are set in the various aspx pages, as needed.
