Session Variables created in ASP Classic: Can they be read by ASP.NET code?

Wynter

I've been smacking into one brick wall after the next in converting some of my code from ASP Classic to ASP.NET. This one is a real bugger. I use Session Variables to help with User Security. If they drop a key Session Variable then they are signed out of the application.

I create this session variable at Signon in Classic ASP code, but as I am finding out the hard way later ASPX code modules are not picking up these session variables. Is there a way to do this? Every time I execute a Request.Cookies("variablename").Value it tells me that "Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

Any ideas
Thanks

Hi,

ASP and ASP.NET not running under the same process thus can't share
session data. There is MS solution:

And Commercial solutions:

Thanks for the confirmation and the commercial application idea. But I am going to try something that I found that should do the trick. It enables me to pass the session variables back and forth between the classic and .net code. Its at http://www.eggheadcafe.com/articles/20021207.as

Thanks
