dataset in session variable problem

[logi2000]

hi. i am storing a dataset in a session variable like this.

Session["myds"] = ds ;

then i use a button to call another page. like this.
Response.Redirect("page2.aspx") ;

in the load form of page2.aspx,
i retrieve the session variable like this:

datagrid1.DataSource = (DataSet)Session["myds"];
datagrid1.DataBind();

but the datagrid does not show any rows, and when i do a quickwatch to the session variable containing the data set, the system reports that it is null.

what can the problem be ?

Session variables are automatically discarded after they are not used for the time-out setting that is specified in the Web.config file

<sessionState mode="InProc" 
  stateConnectionString="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424" 
  sqlConnectionString="data source=127.0.0.1;user id=<username>;password=<strong password>" 
  cookieless="false" 
  timeout="20" />

Make sure your pages are in the same application

Your session is an Object, so you have to do a CType..

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, _
        ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    If IsPostBack Then
        DsNorthwind1 = CType(Session("dataset"), DsNorthwind)
    Else
        SqlDataAdapter1.Fill(DsNorthwind1)
        Session("dataset") = DsNorthwind1
        DataBind()
    End If
End Sub

with the response redirect is working now, i found the bug.

now i have a problem. that if i use a vbscript, or javascript to call the second page, the session variable is empty, when i try to acceess its value on the second page.
