Pass a Session Variable from ASP.NET to ASP

[Wayne Wengert]

I have an application where a session variable is set in an ASPX page, The
process calls an ASP page and when in that page the session variable appears
to be null. How can I pass a session variable to an ASP page?

You can't directly. ASP and ASP.NET use different engines and do not share
any application or session data. You will have to pass the value manually
in a cookie, querystring, hidden form field, database or file of your own.

Scott;

Thanks for the response. I suspected something like that and I tried to add
the Session value to a querystring but I cannot find the correct syntax. I
have the following code for a hyperlink:

<asp:HyperLink id="XX" runat="server"
NavigateUrl = '<%#
"http://wengert.org/evaljudge.asp?name=" +
DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"JudgeName") + "&caption=" +
DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"Caption")%>'
Text = "Edit" >
</asp:HyperLink>

I'd like to add something like this

<asp:HyperLink id="XX" runat="server"
NavigateUrl = '<%#
"http://wengert.org/evaljudge.asp?name=" +
DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"JudgeName") + "&caption=" +
DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem,"Caption") + "&userid=" +
Session("ActiveUser") %>'
Text = "Edit" >
</asp:HyperLink>

but that doesn't work. How can I add a session variable to that hyperlink?

TIA

I would take a different approach. Instead of trying to add logic to your
HTML, I would add it to the code-behind (which is the preferred way in
..NET).

Simply place your asp:hyperlink in the aspx page and then in the
code-behind, determine its NavigateURL value

Sub Page_Load()
Dim JudegName as String = GET DATA VALUE
Dim Caption as String = GET DATA VALUE
XX.NavigateURL = "http://wengert.org/evaljudge.asp?name=" + "JudgeName"
+ "&caption=" + "Caption"
End Sub
