Can an ASP.NET session be carried forward to classic ASP pages?

I am developing a site using ASP.NET. However, one component of the site is not .NET compliant and requires that I use a classic ASP page for this component.

Basically, I just redirect from my ASP.NET page to the ASP page. When I look at the Session.SessionID of the classic ASP page, it is different from that of the ASP.NET page. This seems to indicate that ASP starts its own Session.

Is there any way to make the ASP page use the same SessionID as the ASP.NET page? If not, is there another way around this problem?

Hi, ASP.NET and classic ASP pages use a seperate engine to construct their pages hence the different session values.

As far as I can remember session values are automatically created by IIS so I do not know if you can alter them...

Is it possible to change the SessionID? or is it read only?

If you can change it....just use a querystring, when you call the asp page, that contains the sessionID from ASP.Net. And then Assign the SessionID of ASP to the querystring value.


Again I have no idea if this will work or not.

Why can't you convert the asp part to asp.net. If it's a dll you can use interoperability to create a wrapper for it. VS.Net will do this for you if you reference the asp component in the project as far as I know.
