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.

		/// <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.....
