This example demonstrates the basics on how to store and retrieve data between pages using ASP.NET Session. As you may know there are lots of ways on how to pass information between pages and these includes the following:
*Sessions
*Querystrings
*Cross-Page Posting
*Cookies
*Form Submit
*Server.Transfer
In this example, I'm going to show the basics on how to store the information in Session and retrieve the value of Session in the next page..
C#

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Session["KeyName"] = "Set Value Here";
Response.Redirect("Page2.aspx");
}
//Then on Page2.aspx
//On page load you can get the value of your stored in the session variable
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Session["KeyName"] != null)
{
//get the Session value
string sValue = Session["KeyName"].ToString();
}
}

VB.NET
|
Protected Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Session("KeyName") = "Set Value Here"
Response.Redirect("Page2.aspx")
End Sub
'Then on Page2.aspx
'On page load you can get the value of your stored in the session variable
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
If Session("KeyName") IsNot Nothing Then
'get the Session value
Dim sValue As String = Session("KeyName").ToString()
End If
End Sub
