Lossing my session variable

I use the following code to set a session variable for people I have
authenticated to my site:

For Each row As DataRow In foundRow

Session("Login" ) = row.Item(1).ToS tring

Exit For

Next

Response.Redire ct(Request.Quer yString("PageID "))

The Session("Login" ) get set just fine, but when I do the redirect the page
that loads checks for the following:

If Session("Login" ) = "" OrElse IsNothing(Sessi on("Login")) Then

Response.Redire ct("Login.aspx? PageID=" & Request.Path)

Else

Label1.Text &= " " & Session("Login" ).ToString

End If

When I check the session variable here, it is empty. Does anyone know why?

where are you putting the code Session("Login" ) = row.Item(1).ToS tring
why a for loop for executing only once?
are you within the same domain?
are you within asp.net always?

Fixed it. It has to deal with the Response.Redirc t. I needed to overload
it so it reads:

Response.Redire ct(Request.Quer yString("PageID "),false)

This takes care of it.

John,

This does not make any sense to me. I tried your code and it works fine on
my end. the session has the correct info picked from the second page.

Response.Redire ct(Request.Quer yString("PageID "),false)
the Boolean parameter, indicates whether execution of the current page
should terminate.

I hope you are right and explain why it works that way or someone else can
explain this.

Thank you,

Lit

No, it doesn't. The only difference is that the execution of the code
doesn't end there, but continues to run the rest of the code. As that
doesn't change how session variables work, there has to be something in
the code below that makes a difference.

Do you set the session variable elsewhere in the code?

The Redirect method normally uses an exception to end the execution. Do
you have any error handling that catches exceptions that it shouldn't?
