Sharing session variables between classic ASP and ASP.NET 2.0

[iaresean]

Hi All;

I have to extend (not rewrite) a classic asp site. Joy.

Anyways, I am looking for a way in which I could share the session objects created within the classic asp site login script with the new ASP.NET 2.0 pages I plan to create.

I have found numerous sites discussing the matter, however, they all seem to be tailoring for ASP.NET 1.*. A couple of users within these sites complained that the same process does not work in ASP.NET 2.0.

Does anybody have a tried and tested way in which I might be able to meet my requirements. Alternatively, I would welcome some thoughts into alternative approaches that I might take in order to solve this problem.

Thank you!

Sean.

I would start by looking into web services as a solution.

not a direct solution but the direction I would go with this article

I can't see why it wouldn't work with this version of the framework so going on that basis there are two methods you could use:

1) An "intermediate" page

2) Via a database
