cache dataset on server accross WS calls

[moondaddy]

I want to cache a dataset on a server via a web service. I was thinking of
caching it in a session object and returning the session ID as a string in
the web service back to the windows client. Then I want the windows client
to call a aspx page passing in the sessionID as a parameter and therefore
could access the dataset for further processing.

So, from the web service call, how do I:
1) get the session ID
2) then from the aspx page, how do I use this session ID to retrieve the
session cached on the server?

some vb code examples would be great. any good ideas on this?

Thanks.

Hello moondaddy,

You need to use Cache class of System.Caching

There is a brief description and samples of how to use it

Hi Moondaddy,

I think Michael's suggestion on using the Cache collection instead of
Session is reasonable. For webservice, generally we're not recommeded to
use those implemention specific components such as the ASP.NET's
SessionState. Also, the ASP.NET sessionstate dosn't expose the directly
interfaces for use to access it through SessionID directly. So compared to
session, the applcation Cache is more recommended for your scenario. If you
have any other ideas or concerns, please feel free to post here.

Thanks,
