sharing session vars from ASP to ASP.net

[dgruzew]

does anyone know how to access an asp session variable from asp.net? ASP.net does not use the same session vars that asp uses even though they might be the same name? I am not using the state server yet - and proably won't be able to for a bit, so I am just using plain sessions not SQL or any of that other stuff

we discussed this before, and the only option we see is passing the needed data for asp to aspx using querystrings

unfortunely - I don't have that option - my secruity info is stored in the sessions, so query strings are out of the question

any other ideas? I am migrating a vb webclass and asp app over to .net but the process will occur over several releases I don't want to useres to have to login twice in a hybrid app

I ran into this same dilemma (i'm in the process of converting a huge .asp system to .aspx).

without querystrings, I think you're only other option is to load the Session vars into a Database Table in asp, then reload them into aspx session vars.

I had the same problem I actually ended up writing the data to a text file on the server than when the aspx application ran I read and deleted it. I actually encrypted the data just incase but that was just me. I also suppose that you could encrypt the data then pass it in the querystring.
