Session Variables

I want to add session variables (right now i have query string) in my application.

I want to add session variables that can capture the user's userid and email from a table

How do i do that (code? to write?), i tried

Session["username"]=Textbox1.text, on the 1st .aspx page

anD wrote

If Session["username"]!= nullthen

lblname.text =Session["username"].tostring

EndIf

but it doesnt work

Do i have to do changes in the web.config file? if so what changes ? also do i have to write a new /seperate table in the database?

This is the first time i am using session variables ...i dont understand whats exactly i am supposed to do?

By default you can use the Session In-Proc.

You simply need to add this:

Session["KeyName"] = Textbox1.Text;

On another page, simply use this:

if (Session["KeyName"] != null) && (Session["KeyName"].ToString() != "")
{

// Your code goes here
}

It should work without configuring anything in the web application!

Regards

Session by default is stored in memory, so you don't have to do anything.

this syntax is wrong

If Session["username"]!= nullthenlblname.text =Session["username"].tostring

EndIf

the != and null are for C#, in Visual Basic you would do the following

If Not Session("username") Is Nothingthenlblname.Text =Session("username").ToString()

EndIf

edit:corrected the ["..."] to ("...") (VB syntax for collections)

i get this error :property access must assign to property or use its value

You are trying to retreive some property, you are not assigning its value to a variable or using it in an expression, nor are you setting the value of the property. Please post the line of code which has this error.

Session["username"]=Textbox1.text

Session("username")= Textbox1.text

In fact, I've always used Session.Item("username")= Textbox1.text. I didn't realise you could skip the Item

just see above code
which code behind language you are using?

in c#

Session["username"] = TextBox1.Text;

if(Session["username"]!= null)
TextBox1.Text = Session["username"].ToString();

in vb

Session("username") = TextBox1.Text

If Not Session("username") Is Nothing Then
TextBox1.Text = Session("username").ToString()
End If
