Can i maintain ASP and ASP.NET Sessions on a same page?

[royson]

Hi Guys,
I have a problem, i am migrating from existing asp web application to asp.net web application. The existing asp application holds user session variables. I can share those session variables between asp and asp.net applications by storing it in database, but my actual problem is after i logging in to asp app i redirect the page to asp.net web page. Now asp.net session is creating in application start...after a postback asp.net session expires!! asp session exists.
Is it possible to maintain asp and asp.net sessions on a same page with or without HTML frames?

ASP & ASP.NET can not maintain the same sessions.you can not access ASP page sessions in ASP.Net. One option is create a page that will pass all the session from ASP page to requested ASP.Net page & vice versa

For example you ve a ASP page, let it be page1.asp while clicking the button you need to goto page1.aspx Create a page PassASPSession.asp which will ve the code

string sSessions = "";
for(int i=0;i<Session.Count;i++)
{
sSessions = sSessions + "&" Session.Keys[i].ToString() + "=" + Session[i].ToString() );
}

redirect to the page you want to...
page = "GETASPXSession.aspx?" + sSessions.substring(1)

-----------------------------------------------
GETASPXSession.aspx

in this page assign all the values in session using querystring values & redirect to the corresponding aspx page


Hope u got the idea....

I don't have a problem of transferring the session values between asp and asp.net applications because i am using database to save and access. My problem is i can able to create both asp session and asp.net session on a page with 2 html frames, but only asp session exists after a postback.
My question is can i maintain asp session and asp.net session on a same page which has asp page in one frame and asp.net page in another frame?

we are migrating one single asp page of an application to asp.net and have managed to maintain session between the pages by creating the new .net page under a new virtual directory in the existing website.

sorry - didn't read the last bit properly. virtual directory won't solve the problem in your case.
