Share Session State Across Different ASP.NET Project

hi,

in my team we are developing c# project and vb.net project. After combining these two project (adding Ref of C# project and VB.NET Proj) i m not able to share the session state from vb.net proj to C# project.
is thr any wat to share these session values across two projects?.

Thaniking u

Are you using StateServer Service? Are you using VS.Net or are the file hashed together in a directory?

One way would be to use a serialize your session variables to a direcotry.

Write a class in vb and in C# to access that dir as the state server.

Code:

---

                /// <summary>
                /// Load a serialization file saved with the Save(file) method.
                /// </summary>
                /// <param name="file">Full file path and file name of the serialization file to load from.</param>
                /// <returns>An object to be cast to the correct type.</returns>
                public object Load(string file)
                {
                        object o = null;
                        System.IO.FileStream  fs;
                        System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter bf;

                        if(!System.IO.File.Exists(file))
                        {
                                fs = System.IO.File.Open(file, System.IO.FileMode.Open);
                                bf = new System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter();
                       
                                o = bf.Deserialize(fs);
                                fs.Close();
                        }
                        return o;
                }
               
                /// <summary>
                /// Save a serialzation file.
                /// </summary>
                /// <param name="file">The full path and file name of the file to serialize to.</param>
                public void Save(string file)
                {
                        System.IO.FileStream fs;
                        System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter  bf;
                        if(!System.IO.File.Exists(file))
                        {
                                fs = System.IO.File.Create(file);
                                bf = new System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter();

                                bf.Serialize(fs, this);
                                fs.Close();
                        }
                        else
                        {
                                fs = System.IO.File.Open(file, System.IO.FileMode.Truncate);
                                bf = new System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Binary.BinaryFormatter();

                                bf.Serialize(fs, this);
                                fs.Close();
                        }
                }

Of course your objects have to [System.Serializable] or ISerializable for that to work. You could create a Util class or Module to do the work and add an IDirState or something.. this would also let console apps and any other apps all share the same state info.....
